If you're talking about actual royalty, ABBA mezzo soprano Frida Lyngstad is, in fact, a legally titled princess. Officially she is now Princess Anni-Frid Synni Reuss of Plauen after her marriage into German aristocracy in 1992. The band also performed for royalty, performing Dancing Queen at the 1976 royal gala in Stockholm the night before the marriage of King Carl XVI Gustaf.
If you're speaking figuratively, perhaps a Swede would be better able to answer. But I believe it's true to say that Abba was never as popular at home as they were abroad. For example, the band had at least 21 number one hits somewhere on Earth between 1972 and 1983 but only two number ones in Sweden.
Abba biographer Carl Magnus Palm wrote about the resentment of some in the Swedish arts establishment that a pop band could be so successful. However this attitude was certainly not shared by all and in later years there seems to have been a much greater appreciation for the band's accomplishments. It hasn't hurt that Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus have continued to contribute greatly to Swedish culture as composers and producers. Their epic Swedish Opera, Kristina Fran Dulemala, is a national treasure, and Andersson's currrent band, Benny Anderssons Orkester, has done much to popularize traditional Swedish music. So if not royalty, exactly, I believe they have achieved a high level of respect in Sweden.
