Question, Is Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt and King Tut brother and sister.? I know she had a younger brother she shared power with at her father's passing. Is it the one known as King Tut for he is the only boy King I know of.

No. Cleopatra was alive much later than Tut. Her family was originally Greek, put on the throne when Alexander the Great conquered Egypt.

King Tut ruled long before Cleopatra. Her brother was a Ptolemy.

They were most likely not related in any way.
Cleopatra was a Greek woman of the Ptolemy family. Internal fighting between brother and sister led to brother's leading the country until Cleopatra, with the aid of Rome, overthrew him and stepped into the throne herself. Eventually she was lost to Octavio, Emperor of Rome following Caesar.

Cleo and Tut were not siblings. her brother died "mysteriously"
