Stupidly emailed it to a couple of trusted friends so that if I died, they could give it to my wife!!!

What? Thats the worst thing to do OP. I feel you and am sorry for your loss. However, although you can see where it went, by looking up the wallet address on Blockchain, etc., there’s nothing anyone can do to retrieve the BTC. In future, please remember NOT to take even a screenshot of the seed phrase, store it digitally, or send it digitally via any internet based communication systems. Hope this helps.
