Claim That Freddie Mercury Had a Secret Daughter Divides Opinion

A claim that Freddie Mercury had a secret daughter has sparked controversy. Leslie-Ann Jones, author of 'Love, Freddie,' defends the credibility of these claims, citing a DNA test.

In her book, a woman known only as B claims to be Mercury's daughter, born in 1976 from an affair with the wife of a friend. B claims she had a close relationship with Mercury and that he entrusted her with 17 diaries.

However, people who knew Mercury personally have labeled the claims as 'fake news.' Anita Dobson, wife of Brian May, dismissed the claims, while Mary Austin questioned whether Mercury would have kept such an event a secret.

Jones defends her version of events, insisting that a DNA test confirms her claims.
