THE widow of disgraced TV star paedo Rolf Harris left nearly £4 million in her will, documents show.

Alwen Hughes died aged 92 last August – one year after the jailed entertainer’s death.

The Welsh sculptress and jeweller married Harris in 1958 and stayed with him after he was convicted of indecent assault on young girls.

Harris died aged 93 in May 2023.

Hughes, of Maidenhead, Berkshire, died from a stroke after suffering from vascular dementia.

Now documents show her estate was worth £3,975,950, reduced to a net value of £3,840,532 after deductions.

It was left to the administation of Ian John Sydenham of Manchester-based law firm DWF.

Her complex will dated July 2018 – before Harris’ death – shows she had included him in it.

It also revealed that after his death their daughter Ava Reeves became the main beneficiary.

More distant relations were also included, as reported by NeedToKnow.

In 2023, it was reported Ava had changed her name in a bid to cut ties with the disgraced entertainer’s legacy.

The now 61-year-old, who formerly went by the name Bindi Harris, became Ava Reeves. She is the couple’s only child.

A source close to the family said she had changed her name to be taken serious in the art world.
