great-great-grandson
Very distant descendant
A great-great-grandson is the son of one's great-grandchild—four generations removed.
The relationship extends the pattern: grandson, great-grandson, great-great-grandson, with each "great" adding another generation.
Queen Victoria's great-great-grandson now sits on the British throne.
