A Metropolitan Police officer has denied causing death of a woman by careless driving.
Helen Holland, 81, was struck by a motorcycle which was part of an escort for the Duchess of Edinburgh on May 10, 2023.
The collision took place at the junction of West Cromwell Road and Warwick Road in Earl’s Court.
She suffered serious injuries and died two weeks later.
Christopher Harrison, 67, appeared at the Old Bailey on Wednesday where he spoke only to confirm his identity and enter his not guilty plea during a short hearing.
“Her Royal Highness’s deepest condolences and sympathies go to all of Ms Holland’s family.”
Harrison was granted unconditional bail and will face trial on November 10 next year.
