iPhone 14 pro mysterious "princess" audio option on incoming calls

Formerly, when i received an incoming call I was given 3 options for the audio: speaker, blue tooth, or iPhone. A few day ago a new option appeared - Princess. I have no idea what it is or where it came from. Google searches only give me results involving cruise lines, which do ot apply to me in any way.

I'd like to know what "princess is, or at the very least, remove it from my audio options before I accidently route my calls into the unknown.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

Does one of your other devices (like the tv, another room's speaker, etc,) have such a name in your iPhone.

Wondering if "Princess" could be to choose your tv (or another speaker) for everyone to hear the incoming call ?

Eg: see this older discussion thread about speaker choices:

Why are there iPhone speaker choices now? - Apple Community

Yes. Mystery solved. We have a campaign worker staying with us for a couple of weeks and as it ends up, she has a digital assistant named Princess that we were unaware of. Thank you for the response! My fear was that I was somehow connecting to some device in a neighbor's house and I really didn't want to accidently route my calls to an outside device.
