Did Freddie Mercury really have a secret daughter? Book Love, Freddie explores

Freddie Mercury’s alleged daughter breaks silence in biography, revealing secret diaries and a close relationship.

A new biography has revealed that Freddie Mercury, iconic frontman of Queen, allegedly had a secret daughter with whom he maintained a close relationship until his death in 1991.

The revelation comes from Love, Freddie, a new book by rock biographer Lesley-Ann Jones.

According to the biography, the child—known only as B—is a 48-year-old medical professional living in Europe. She claims she was conceived during an affair between Mercury and the wife of a close friend in 1976. Despite the unusual circumstances of her birth, B says Mercury was deeply devoted to her.

In a handwritten letter featured in the book, B states: “Freddie Mercury was and is my father. We had a very close and loving relationship from the moment I was born and throughout the final 15 years of his life.”

B has remained anonymous and was previously known only to Mercury’s inner circle. She has now chosen to speak out and share 17 volumes of private diaries Mercury gifted her—detailing his thoughts, memories, and feelings. The journals span from June 20, 1976, shortly after he learned of the pregnancy, to July 31, 1991, just months before his death from AIDS-related complications.

Biographer Jones, who was first contacted by B three years ago, stated she initially doubted the claims but is now convinced of their authenticity, citing the detailed records and B’s consistent cooperation.

The book sheds new light on Mercury’s private life and the emotional depth of his final years.
