'Nephew' could mean anything. It might actually be great-great-great-great (on for about 20 generations) great-nephew, so the amount of the Divine Blood in his veins is probably virtually zero.

It is also possible that 'nephew' is simply a commonly-used term for anypony whom Celestia has fostered. Remember that people call Cadance Celestia's neice but they are established in canon not to be blood relatives. It is possible that Sunset Shimmer may thus, by that rule, be considered Celestia's 'neice' also, especially if the common fanon of her being a foundling is true.
