Alwen Hughes’s £4 Million Estate Revealed in Probate Documents

The widow of disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris left a complex will naming their daughter, Ava Reeves, as the primary beneficiary after her death in August 2024.

Overview

  • Probate filings disclose that Alwen Hughes’s estate was valued at £3,975,950 gross, with a net value of £3,840,532 after deductions.
  • Hughes’s 2018 will initially included her husband, Rolf Harris, but after his death in 2023, their daughter Ava Reeves became the main beneficiary.
  • Other relatives were also named in the will, reflecting its complex structure.
  • Hughes, a Welsh sculptress and jeweller, stood by Harris despite his 2014 conviction for indecent assault and his subsequent imprisonment.
  • Reeves, formerly known as Bindi, changed her name to distance herself from her father’s tarnished legacy.
