Both are locations and not types of citizenship. 'British' is a descriptor for citizenship 'Great Britain' and 'United Kingdom' are not.

To be picky, there are technically 6 different types of British citizenship:

You can be a citizen (or national) of the United Kindom (of GB and NI) but not simply of Great Britain though.

It also makes it a pain to find, I spent a good amount of time looking through different entries (UK, United Kingdom, British, England, Great Britain etc.).
