RELATIVES of disgraced entertainer Rolf Harris are in line for a £2million payday after one of his firms was wound up.
RHE Investments Ltd was set up in 2012 to handle part of his fortune.

It has now been liquidated by his niece Jennifer, 70 — the firm’s director — with cash and assets worth £1.8million.
Harris and wife Alwen had also been directors but resigned in 2015.
Widow Alwen, 91, still lives at their £3.65million riverside Berkshire mansion, but requires 24-hour care for dementia.
It emerged on Monday that Harris, who died in May aged 93, left most of his £16million estate to his only child Bindi, 59.
Shortly before his death he appointed his personal assistant Lisa Ratcliff as his will’s executor — and in charge of his paintings once worth £12million.
While in prison, he pocketed a £1million pay-out after the break-up of his business empire, Rolf Harris Enterprises, and accumulated royalties and other assets.
Ms Ratcliff, 53, began working closely with Harris in 2000 under then theatrical agent Jan Kennedy who managed him. She has also been organising Alwen’s carers for years.
“Before Rolf died Lisa was made an executor to his estate with Bindi and put in sole charge of his paintings which are in storage and were worth £12m before his convictions,” said Mr Merritt, who became a close friend of the once-lauded national treasure.
His death certificate revealed he died of “metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of neck” – the medical term for neck cancer – and “frailty of old age”.
