May 2025 The amount Rolf Harris' wife left in her will has been confirmed - and it's eye-watering. The shamed TV star died aged 93 in May 2023 after suffering from neck cancer and

left behind a staggering £16million fortune. Now, it's been confirmed how much his wife Alwen Hughes left in her own will. Her death came in August last year, aged 92, just one year

after her husband. She stood by the disgraced star despite his conviction for a string of historic offences, reports the Mirror. The Welsh-born sculptor and jewellery designer - who was

married to Harris for more than six decades - left a staggering £4million following her death. Official documents show her estate at the time of her death was worth £3,975,950, reduced to a

net value of £3,840,532 after deductions. Her will - described as complex and drawn up in 2018 years before the death of the former Animal Hospital presenter - included her husband in it.

But following his death a the couple's riverside mansion in Berkshire in May 2023, their only daughter Ava Reeves (formerly known as Bindi) was listed as the main heir. Other relatives

were also included in the final document. Harris and Welsh married in 1958. She stood by his side despite his convictions and attended every day of Harris' initial trial alongside their

daughter - who later changed her name to cut ties with Harris' tarnished legacy. It comes just weeks after the couple's luxury property hit the market, two years after his death,

with a £4million price tag. A source told the Mirror at the time how Ava had been trying to sell the property: “Bindi [Ava] was seen emptying the property about a month ago," the

insider said. JOIN THE DAILY RECORD WHATSAPP COMMUNITY! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today. You'll receive daily updates on

but she doesn’t desperately need the money and is in no rush, so she’s determined to hold out for a good price. Potential buyers have already begun viewings." Harris died of neck cancer

at the house aged 93 in May 2023, a year before Welsh, who had been suffering from Alzheimer’s. Article continues below The former presenter was jailed in July 2014 for five years and nine

months after he was found guilty of a dozen indecent assaults against four young girls. His crimes took place between 1968 and 1986. In one instance, it's claimed Harris sexually

assaulted one of his daughter's friends, who was between the ages of 13 and 19 at the time. During his final hours while surrounded by loved ones, Harris is said to have made an

emotional request to his daughter through a feeding tube. His parting words were reported to be: "I always believed we would go on longer together but, if I go first, promise

you'll take good care of your mum."
