I'm a named driver on my wife's car, so if I make a claim on my policy will this have any affect on her policy?

My car was stolen and I want to make a claim on the insurance. I'm a named driver on my wife's car, so if I make a claim on my policy will this have any affect on her policy?

Technically yes, as you have made a claim. You will be seen as an additional risk, but the effect should be minimal. I would obtain various quotes from more than one supplier to see the effect.
