After King Harald V's death in August, his widow, Queen Sonja, was no longer styled as Her Majesty. Today, the Norwegian royal website has updated its listing for Queen Sonja... or downgraded her status. She is no longer a member of the Royal House and is now listed under Other members of the Royal Family, alongside her daughter, Princess Märtha Louise, and her grandson, Prince Sverre Magnus.
Although Queen Sonja will continue to carry out official engagements, she is no longer entitled to a gun salute and the Norwegian flag flown on her birthday. She will also now have to pay Norwegian income tax.
The members of the Royal House are King Haakon VIII, Queen Mette-Marit and Crown Princess Ingrid.

What a disgrace!
Did she know this was going to happen? Seems extreme after decades of service to the country.
I’m sure this has been known for sometime even before the late King’s death
