Yes. I was born in England and trace my ancestry back to the 1600s in England and Scotland. Given the system we have that means that without doubt he is my king but to be honest that doesn't mean much to me. If I met him I would be polite but I don't feel duty bound to do what he says. He is a constitutional monarch.
In my youth I would rail against the monarchy but no one has yet convinced me that a different system that would work better for the UK. It's a bit like the House of Lords. In theory it's terrible but in practice and given all the quirks in the British/UK constitution and law it works well and sometimes it is best not to fix things that are not broken.
