The difference is:
A king is a male sovereign or monarch that means they are in power by life tenure and it is usually a hereditary right. A king in the ancient times we not voted into power, it was a right they inherit from their parent. A king was the chief authority in the country meaning they make the final decision whether the people agree or not.
On the other hand, today we are citizen of our country this means that the power mainly rests with the people. The citizens are the once who get to choose the leader and also the leaders have o have the approval of the people to make certain decisions e.g through referendums. Therefore, citizenship beholds democracy putting the rights of the people first.

King’s subject implies loyalty or commitment to a personal sovereign such as a monarch or king.
Citizen is preferred for one owing loyalty or commitment to a state in which sovereign power is in the possession of the people and sharing in the political rights of those people.
