Since she does not appear in Babar and the Adventures of Badou, it is possible that she has either moved away or more likely has since died (justified that she was very elderly when Babar was a child and likely passed away since), as Pom has now grown up and became a father and Babar himself is a grandfather of Badou by this point.
