Answer: Queen Hatshepsut usurped most of his reign.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stepmother of Tuthmosis III. queen Hatepshut was the real ruler of Egypt at the time of the said pharaoh. She was actually the real ruler, while Pharaoh “remained in the shadows.” With the usurpation of the Egyptian throne, Hatshepsut ruled for almost twenty years. Thutmosis III. was thus the real ruler of Egypt for only two years.
