The only evidence I have is an article in the Daily Express today but it looks like Bindi, the daughter of Rolf Harris, had a pretty empty childhood.

Surprise, surprise, everything revolved around what he was doing and how artistic he and his wife were, making her artistic talent look inadequate.

He betrayed them with Bindi's friend and now it looks like she will lose most of what she might have hoped to inherit.

Poor girl needed something to look forward to.

think i would want to just walk away from it all.. how awful for her..

She won't be able to do that.

She will go through all the guilt and questioning of herself and all the complications of the situation with her mother.

It has only just begun for her.

yes , you right and that dirty old man never gave a thought to how he would hurt them,

i just hope that he has transferred some of his assets before the trial but even then i still wouldn't want his money.

If it fell in my bank account I wouldn't evict it!

it makes me shudder to think someone had him for a father and it sounds like he never really was much of a father anyway...

The connection with Savile is spooky as well...

What he was doing was not, as far as we yet know, was not as extreme as what JS did, which still doesn't make it right I know.

Groping was a lot more acceptable to many then.

I don't know if he was a particularly talented actor because I am still incredulous that Rolf Harris has been found guilty whereas Jimmy Savile and Stuart Hall exuded creepiness from every pore. They looked like perverts!

I took my young daughter to see him in the 70's re-opening a new park near me, it was a family event and i was disgusted with the blue jokes he was telling, i don't think the younger ones understood thank goodness but he was smutty and dirty and i never liked him after that..

I have never heard of anything like that of him before.

What did I put on the last post that warranted RR ing?

Keeps them occupied.

I can never remember seeing anything about Rolf Harris that made me think he looked a bit odd or creepy, which I certainly did with the other two. They were men I would not turn my back on or stand too close too but he just didn't give any of those signals.

this article is interesting

I feel most sorry for Rolf's wife, looks as tho she has suffered over the years.

That was pretty hurtful behaviour by her first husband as well.

Looks like he reacted by abandoning her because of what her father had done.

On top of that she has no idea whether she is, or was, going to be administering a huge sum of money at some point with no experience.

I suppose Bindi was quite a useful prop for her father when he needed to reinforce the image of the family man.
