Dua-en-Re
Dw3 nj Rˁ Praise
me the Re!

Duaenre was a prince of the ancient Egyptian 4th Dynasty . He was a son of Pharaoh Chephren and his wife Meresanch III. During the reign of Chephren's successor Mykerinos , he held the office of vizier and was thus the highest official after the king. A vizier among Mykerinos' successor Sheepseskaf named Babaef was probably a son of the Duaenre.
