Technically, the UK never had any colonies. They belong directly to the British Crown, Australian Crown or New Zealand Crown (Queen Elizabeth in all cases, of course). Colonies are regarded as 'Dependent Territories'. But not all dependent territories are colonies. For example, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not part of the UK nor are they colonies, but they are Crown dependent territories.
