Paedophile Rolf Harris’s widow Alwen left a fortune of just under £4 million to their daughter who stood by the children’s TV star while he was exposed as a sex offender.
Details of her will show Alwen Harris, who died in August last year aged 92, left £3,840,532 to Ava Reeves, who used to be known as Bindi Harris.
The will dated in 2018 before Harris died, would have seen the estate go to her husband had he been alive, but the amount appears to confirm suspicions that the disgraced former children’s entertainer ‘shielded’ his fortune to avoid legal claims from his victims, even after his death.
He died in May 2023 aged 93 following a battle with neck cancer. At the time of his death, reports suggested he might leave around £16million to Alwen and daughter Bindi, 60.
However, court documents released at the time of his death showed his assets to be worth £438,802. Expenses then brought that sum down to zero.
