As I pointed in the comment you can try to get query for relation first, then add includes and execute loading. Something like:

context.Entry(parent)
       .Collection(p => p.Children)
       .Query()
       .Include(c => c.Grandchildren) // I'm not sure if you can include grandchild directly  
       .Load();
