We consider a hidden Markov model with multidimensional observations and with misspecification, i.e. the assumed coefficients (transition probability matrix and observation conditional densities) are possibly different from the true coefficients. Under mild assumptions on the coefficients of both the true and the assumed models, we prove that: 1) the prediction filter forgets almost surely their initial condition exponentially fast; and 2) the extended Markov chain, whose components are the unobserved Markov chain, the observation sequence and the prediction filter, is geometrically ergodic, and has a unique invariant probability distribution.
