A protection officer for Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, has been found not guilty of causing death by careless driving.
Metropolitan Police motorcyclist Christopher Harrison, who hit a pensioner while escorting the duchess, has been found not guilty at the Old Bailey.
Eighty-one-year-old Helen Holland died two weeks after she was hit on West Cromwell Road, west London, in May 2023.
PC Harrison, 68, was travelling at between 44mph and 58mph as he approached the crossing, which had a 30mph speed limit at the time.
A jury acquitted PC Harrison after deliberating for two hours and 25 minutes.
After the verdict was returned, a person shouted from the public gallery: “You ruined our family with no consequences.”
