Henuttawy was a daughter of Pharaoh Ramesses II and the Great Royal Wife Nefertari and half-sister of Merneptah.

The children of Nefertari are usually identified on the basis of this temple: the princes Amunherkhepeshef, Pareherwenemef, Meryre and Meryatum and the princesses Meritamen and Henuttawy.

Henuttawy is not depicted on the facade of the large Abu Simbel temple, where the first two sons and the six eldest daughters of Ramesses are shown, along with Nefertari and Queen Mother Tuya.

QV73 remains closed to visitors due to numerous faults and structural concerns related to open joints, and bedding plane tilting.

In some areas of the tomb the cartouches are blank, but in the main burial chamber faint traces of her name have been recorded.
