Cleopatra's son by Julius Caesar, Caesarion, was proclaimed "Pharoah of Egypt" by the Egyptians after Cleopatra's and Antony's deaths. Octavian (Augustus) had him murdered and proclaimed himself 'Pharoah' of Egypt (30 B.C.E.)
she was the last "queen" of egypt, that is the last female pharoh
1) "Cleopatra VII Jointly with her father Ptolemy XII, her brother Ptolemy XIII, her brother-husband Ptolemy XIV, and her son Ptolemy XV; also known simply as Cleopatra 51–30 BC
Ptolemy XIII Brother of Cleopatra VII 51–47 BC
Arsinoe IV In opposition to Cleopatra VII 48-47 BC
Ptolemy XIV Younger brother of Cleopatra VII and Ptolemy XIII 47–44 BC
Ptolemy XV Caesarion Infant son of Cleopatra VII; aged 3 when proclaimed co-ruler with Cleopatra 44–30 BC"
"Rome:
Cleopatra VII had an affair with Roman Dictator Julius Caesar, and Roman General Marc Antony, but it was not until after her suicide in 30 BC (after Marc Antony was defeated by Octavian, who would later be the emperor Augustus) that Egypt became a province of Rome in 30 BC. Subsequent Roman Emperors were accorded the title of Pharaoh, although exclusively while in Egypt. One Egyptian king-list lists the Roman Emperors as Pharaohs up to and including Decius. See the list of Roman emperors."

2) "Assuming that Democratic presidential candidate Barak Obama would win the presidential elections in November and become the next man in White House, his biggest challenge in the Middle East will be the Last Pharaoh! It is not the Last Pharaoh, the movie made by Will Smith, but Hosny Mubarak, a.k.a. the Last Pharaoh of Egypt.
Will Smith’s movie does not depict that. If you want to know the true story of the Last Pharaoh of Egypt, you’d better pay attention to what’s going on in Egypt these days and in the near future. That will make a lot of headlines.
Many people consider that the Pharaonic era in Egyptian history had ended thousands of years ago. But to the Egyptians, the memories of their pharaohs are still fresh. The word pharaoh is still used in Egyptian daily language, Arabic, as a detonation of tyranny, arrogance, haughtiness and unjust power. Throughout their history, Egyptians have learned how to live with their oppressors and pharaohs. They developed a unique sense of humor coated with sarcasm and symbolic jokes. It has been their safety valve to vent their anger and frustration against their rulers that have been unjust and overbearing in most cases. Egyptians are known, especially through the Arab Worlds, as tellers of jokes and people of great skill and resourcefulness. It is the outcome of mixing throughout the ages with people of many cultures."
