No, they didn't have to. Most of them did, sometimes they would marry their own brother/sister (mostly sister,) so that way they wouldn't be able to have any kids. They often wanted little or no kids to make sure that they would always stay pharaoh. Many pharaohs had many wives, and sometimes they would have around twice a dozen kids because they would have children with every wife.
