Rolf Harris’ wife has stopped visiting him in jail because of her own health problems mean the two hour commute is too much for her
Harris' wife Alwyn has avoided the two-hour trip to HMP Stafford
A neighbour said the journey from Berkshire was 'too arduous' to make
Shamed entertainer's early 2017 release could fail after new sex claims
Alwyn hasn't been seen 'for months' after paedophile Harris was jailed
Shamed former entertainer Rolf Harris hasn't had a visit from his wife in prison for months because she is too ill to go.
Alwyn Harris, wife of the disgraced television presenter, has avoided the two-hour trip to HMP Stafford, according to a friend and neighbour.
A man who lives close to the couple in Bray, Berkshire, said: 'We used to be on quite friendly terms with Alwyn and would spot her coming and going.
'But the last time she was seen was months and months ago – not that long after Rolf was sent down.'
The man, who didn't want to be named and was contacted by the Star on Sunday, added: 'She finds the journey to see him very arduous and has become a recluse.'
Harris, 85, was jailed for almost six years in 2014 for 12 indecent assaults against four girls, including one aged just seven or eight.
The neighbour, who used to have street parties with the couple, claimed Alwyn was finding it difficult to cope without her husband.
He thought the couple wouldn't be likely to attend another party in the future.
This week Alwyn was spotted at her luxury riverside home but her housekeeper quickly drew the CURTAINS when a passerby turned to look in.
Harris' early release from prison next year could fail after five further women made claims and are set to make sex allegations against him.
When asked about her employer's visits to Harris, Alwyn's assistant did not deny she hadn't gone to see Rolf in recent months but refused to make any comment.
She also declined to speak about potential new sex charges.
The new claims against him date back to the 1980s but are not believed to involve children.
Investigating officers are set to visit Harris in prison next week to question him in relation to the fresh claims.
