Meritites II

2575 BC[1]) was a 4th Dynasty princess of ancient Egypt, probably a daughter of King Khufu.

She may have been a daughter of Meritites I based on the fact that this queen is mentioned in mastaba G 7650.

[2] She married the Director of the Palace, Akhethotep (a non-royal court official), and she had several children with her husband.

[3] Further titles of Akhethotep include Sole friend, Priest of the Bas of Nekhen, and Overseer of fishers/ fowlers.

A red granite sarcophagus with a palace facade was discovered in shaft C.[4] Meritites died during the reign of her brother Khafre.
