Tony Mullins has revealed that Princess Zoe has been removed from his yard.
The trainer and brother of Willie Mullins says the eight-year-old mare has gone to another stable after a disagreement with owner Paddy Kehoe.
Princess Zoe won the Group 1 Prix du Cadran in 2020 and was also second in the Ascot Gold Cup the following year.

She was campaigned over hurdles this year, finishing fifth in the Jack De Bromhead Mares' Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March, and was last seen being pulled up in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Honeysuckle Mares Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday.
Mullins claims himself and the owner disagreed over the horse's future, with Kehoe reportedly wanting to continue to campaign her over hurdles, while the trainer thought she might be able to land another flat race.
Princess Zoe has earned over €490,000 in prize money, but Kehoe was critical of jockey Danny Mullins, who is Tony's son, after the Cheltenham race, saying that he would never ride the horse again.
However, he later said he regretted making the comments and Danny partnered the mare again at Fairyhouse weeks later.
