Really? Why not?? First move the wood is princess then second is place phantom.
The placement of a princess tile (Princess & Dragon) with removal of a knight from the city cannot be used as a first “follower move” and be followed by placement of the Phantom (e.g. into the now-vacated city). As per the rules for the princess, “if a knight is removed from the city, the player may not deploy or move any other figure.”

I can only quote note 386:QuoteThe placement of a princess tile (Princess & Dragon) with removal of a knight from the city cannot be used as a first “follower move” and be followed by placement of the Phantom (e.g. into the now-vacated city).

Is this something that HiG has been asked directly? It doesn't quite "feel" like it's in keeping with the rest of the rules to me, and sounds more like something that's been written without taking The Phantom into consideration. Is there anyone this could be double-checked with?
It would mean that you can take control of any city immediatelly without any effort.
As far as I am aware, the special "open book" symbol in CAR means that this information is official and comes directly from HiG. Note 386 has that special symbol. That is why I don't doubt it.
As per the rules for the princess, “if a knight is removed from the city, theplayer may not deploy or move any other figure.”
If a knight is removed from the city, the player may not deploy or move any other figure (including follower, builder, pig, mayor, barn, wagon, or fairy)
Just another thought regarding this. It was mentioned that you shouldn’t be able to remove a knight with a princess and then claim the empty city with your phantom on the same turn because of how damaging this could be in terms of upsetting the balance of power. But you can do exactly the same thing with a tower (as far as I can tell) so I can’t see why this should be any different...
