We know almost nothing about Cleopatra's childhood. She comes into history only at the time when she became queen. At about the age of 12, she was either in exile with her father or had just returned to Egypt with him, but this is speculation, not historical fact.

Cleopatra was an Egyptian queen but was Cleopatra Egyptian?
Cleopatra's family was actually Greek and she was the first of her family to speak Egyptian even though they had ruled Egypt for nearly 300 years. She was a descendant of one of Alexander the Great's Brothers who became the first non-Egyptian Pharaoh after Alexandr's Empire was divided up after his untimely death.
Technically, she was of Macedonian Greek origin, so she was not Egyptian 'by blood'. However, in attempt to legitimize their rule, the Ptolemaic Dynasty, of which Cleopatra was the last, took up Egyptian religion, customs, and culture. So by the time Cleopatra came around, they were very much culturally Egyptian.
