They haven't really been subjects since the UK became a constitutional monarchy (defined as when a monarch is "a sovereign who reigns but does not rule" -- Vernon Bogdanor, ref wikipedia). So, not for the last few hundreds of years at least.
- burfog 8y agoThey can be subjects, nationals, and/or citizens. Those are all distinct and all still valid, and it is possible to qualify for more than one at the same time. Including those of us who don't qualify for any of them, there are 8 possibilities. The UK has a web site that attempts to help people figure out what they are and what they could transition to. It's insanely complicated.
