In Chrome settings\advanced\languages.

Check what languages are installed under "language" if English UK is missing click on add to import it, then under "spell check" see if you can toggle the switch for English UK and toggle off US English.

If you still can't get it to work you might have to remove your Chrome profile (hidden in Windows userdata folder) and do a clean install, be sure to backup bookmarks and any other data.

Alternatively try Vivaldi browser which is based off Chrome, it has it's own separate settings menu but it does not yet have the spell check section in that new menu, you must right click in a text box, select from the context menu language settings and it will bring you to the same Chrome style spell check settings.

Just on the off chance I'd double check the Windows control panel language settings in case anything there somehow changed which affected the spell checker in IE.
