Freddie Mercury has a hidden kid, according to an impending biography of the rock star.

According to The Daily Mail, author Lesley-Ann Jones says in her book Love, Freddie: Freddie Mercury’s Secret Life and Love that the renowned Queen frontman fathered a daughter.

According to the soon-to-be-released book, Mercury welcomed his daughter, named only “B” with the wife of a close friend in 1976, following a flirtation.

According to The Daily Mail, Love, Freddie also includes the woman’s personal narrative of her “very close and loving” father-daughter connection with Mercury before his death at the age of 45 in 1991.

According to Jones’s book Love, Freddie, only those in Mercury’s closest circle, including his parents, sister, Queen bandmates, and ex-fiancée and close friend Mary Austin, were aware of the singer’s daughter.

The anonymous daughter claims in the book that she always knew the performer was her biological father. She also claims Mercury paid many visits to her and her mother during her youth, according to The Daily Mail.

“It was decided between the three adults that the child would live with her mother and her husband—the child’s stepfather,” Jones writes in the book, according to the source. Mercury even had “his own rooms at each of their homes.”

According to the author, as reported by The Daily Mail, Mercury, the girl’s mother, and stepfather agreed to “raise the child together,” which meant the rock icon “visited and stayed with them frequently.”

Jones further alleges that the celebrity communicated with his daughter “every day” while traveling or working on Queen albums.

According to Jones, Mercury’s daughter “knew from toddlerhood which of the two men was her real father,” according to The Daily Mail.

“Outside the unusual family, privacy and discretion were maintained to a degree that not even some members of Freddie’s household had any idea that he had a child,” the writer said, according to the newspaper.

The Daily Mail reports that the film Love, Freddie is mainly based on Mercury’s secret journals, which he allegedly gave to his daughter before his death.

“He entrusted his collection of private notebooks to me, his only child and next of kin, which contain the written record of his private thoughts, memories, and feelings about everything he experienced,” writes the woman, now a 48-year-old medical professional and parent herself, about Mercury in the book, according to the source.

The Daily Mail said that she chose to release the diaries with Jones in 2021. Initially skeptical, the author was ultimately persuaded by the woman’s evidence, which included pictures, cards, and bank records, as well as her conduct.

“My instinct was to doubt everything, but I am sure she is not a fantasist,” the author said of Mercury’s putative daughter, according to The Daily Mail. “No one could have faked all of this. What would motivate her to collaborate with me for three-and-a-half years without anticipating any return?

The woman, who now lives a private life in Europe, “has never asked for money” and “does not want recognition,” Jones tells the site. According to the author, the woman is “extremely wealthy” in part because of the money she inherited from Mercury via a “private, legal arrangement.”

According to The Daily Mail, Love, Freddie also includes a letter from Mercury’s putative daughter, who explains why she chose to disclose the Queen frontman’s secret journals years after his death.

“After over three decades of falsehoods, supposition, and distortion, it’s time to let Freddie speak. Those who were aware of my existence preserved his most important secret out of devotion to Freddie. “That I choose to reveal myself in my own midlife is my decision and mine alone,” she allegedly says, adding that she has not been “coerced” into doing so.

According to The Daily Mail, the now-grown woman also provides personal memories of her time with Mercury.

In the opening chapter, she allegedly writes, “Freddie Mercury was and is my father. We had a very close and loving relationship from the time I was born and throughout the last 15 years of his life.

“He adored me and was devoted to me,” she tells The Daily Mail. “To most people, the circumstances of my birth may appear unique, if not ridiculous. This should come as no surprise. It never detracted from his resolve to love and care for me. He treated me like a prized item.”
