Son of Rex? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prince

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

This might be a double definition.

'son' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Royal son ' mean 'prince' so perhaps 'son' could also mean 'prince')

'rex?' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prince that I've seen before include "Son of a royal house" , "Panto character" , "Royal personage" , "Son of a sovereign" , "Pincer movement around the royal" .)
