George V and Edward VIII and maybe, Prince Michael of Kent (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grandson

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'kent' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

'george v and edward viii and maybe prince michael of' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'george' could be 'gr' and 'gr' is found in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for grandson that I've seen before include "Male offspring, third generation (8)" , "Young male relative" , "Junior relative" , "Younger male relative" , "Dons rang (anag) - relative" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
