Kinda sorta. Cousins mean you share grandparents. Second cousins share great-grandparents. Third cousins share great-great-grandparents.
The the “removed” refers to generations. My first cousin’s kid is my first cousin, once removed. His kid (my cousin’s grandparent) will be my first cousin, twice removed. So 16x removed would be 14x great-grandparent/child.
In other words, Benedict Cumberbatch’s 14x great-grandparent shared a great-great-grandparent with… Was it a king we were talking about? I already forgot OP.
