Topic of citizen in a monarchy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

subject

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'topic' is the first definition.
(I know that topic can be written as subject)

'citizen in a monarchy' is the second definition.
'subject' can be an answer for 'citizen' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'in a monarchy' bit.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for subject that I've seen before include "guinea pig" , "One is under the authority of royalty" , "Theme, topic" , "One owing allegiance to monarch" , "Branch of knowledge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
