George Harrison has left the bulk of his almost £200m fortune to his wife and son.

The ex-Beatle left most of his estate to Olivia, his wife, and his son Dhani.

He gave up to 10% to the Hare Krishna faith he embraced in the late 1960s.

Harrison lost his battle with cancer last Thursday.

It has been reported that "several million" pounds would be left to un-named international and UK-based charities. Several aid children in poor African countries.

A family friend said: "George never led a flashy life. He believed in family, charity toward his fellow human beings and in achieving an inner peace. Those beliefs are certainly reflected in his will."

Harrison's assets included a series of properties around the world, with a home on Hamilton Island on Australia's Great Barrier Reef and a huge and secluded ocean-front estate on the Hawaiian island of Maui.

He also owned Friar Park, the £20m 100-room home in Henley-on-Thames where he was stabbed by a deranged intruder in December 1999.

The estate includes the rights to several songs, including his hit My Sweet Lord and the triple album it was part of, All Things Must Pass, as well as the income from his part in producing films including Monty Python's Life Of Brian.

The worldwide success of last year's Beatles' Greatest Hits compilation increased Harrison's net worth by up to 25%.
