It seems that Charlie 'jug ears' & Rolf Harris were besties back in the day, so a commemorative painting has been done.

The Royals do appear to have a problem with befriending kiddy fiddlers.

To be fair, a lot of people ' befriended' Rolf Harris did they all know about his crimes ?  I doubt it.

Why not, everyone with celebrity status seems to have said that people knew Jimmy Savile was up to it?

I like that painting, it's good. :upvote:

This suggests it is more about a friendship with Saville than Harris which is why he has the Jim Fixed It medal

It seems he was friends with both of them as he was linked to Harris in an article about Harris 'hiding in plain sight'.

Savile was creepy, no surprise when his deeds were revealed. Harris seemed like a normal husband and father, I think more of us were shocked hearing about his proclivities.

I agree he also did a good one of the late Queen. Tragic, so many abilities within a singularly flawed mind ...

Those portraits are really excellent.  As you say, a flawed mind...

And now a dead one, May the 10th but not released by the family for a fortnight ...
