I have no doubt that your passport may say citizen, in fact you probably can in good faith say that you are. Be that as it may, you are a subject of the Crown as well.

Technically, the Queen would call her people "subjects". However, the Queen is only the head of state in the UK, not the head of government--she doesn't have any real power over her "subjects". This is sometimes misunderstood by us Yanks, because our head of State and our head of Government are the same person. The Brits are citizens, because they elect their representatives, just like we do.
