Cleopatra Selene married King Juba II and her brothers Alexander and Ptolemaeus disappeared in strange circumstances.

Answer 1

There are theories as to other famous "bloodlines" around the world throughout history, but unless I am mistaken, there has not been any attempt to claim that a child of Cleopatra survived and managed to keep an unbroken line all the way to today. With all the mystique about Cleopatra, one would almost have expected that.
Cleopatra had four children: Caesarion, Julius Caesar's son, and Mark Anthony's children: the twins Cleopatra Selene and Alexander Helios, and Ptolemy Philadelphus. Caesarion and Alexander Helios were both murdered, and then, after Cleopatra's death, little Selene and Ptolemy were dragged behind a chariot in a triumphant procession in Rome. Ptolemy Philadelphus was murdered by orders of King Herods son Antipater.Selene grew up, she was married (in 30 BCE according to Desmond) to the Numidian prince Juba, who had a Greek education. The Romans made him king of Mauretania in 25 BCE, and Selene thereby became Queen of Mauretania from this time. Selene died in 6 CE, so she must have been around 46 at the time. Their son, Ptolemy, succeeded to the throne of Mauretania around 23 CE (I'm assuming after the death of Juba, his father), but was killed by orders of Caligula in 40 CE. The story is that he had worn a purple robe more conspicuous than the Emperor's in the amphitheatre in Rome, and Caligula sent him into exile and had him assasinated on the way.

Alexander Helios and Ptolemy Philadelphus (Cleopatra VII's other two children by Mark Antony--Ptolemy Philadelphus was born in 36 BCE according to Desmond) went with Selene and Juba to Mauretania. There is no record if they had children or what happened to them. According to Tacitus, Drusilla was married to the widowed Antonius Felix, a Greek freedman. Felix was appointed procurator of Judea and was Roman governor there in 56 CE.
