Skepticism Greets Claims of Freddie Mercury's Secret Daughter

Biographer Lesley-Ann Jones claims that Queen's Freddie Mercury secretly fathered a daughter, known as 'B', following a 1976 affair, and maintained a close relationship with her until his death in 1991, gifting her 17 volumes of journals. Jones says DNA evidence supports the claim, and the woman, now a 48-year-old medical professional in Europe, has provided a handwritten letter for the biography 'Love, Freddie.' Queen guitarist Brian May and his wife Anita Dobson remain strongly skeptical, questioning how such a revelation could remain hidden for so long and suggesting the story may be 'fake news.' The biography is set for release in September and will reportedly include further details. Despite the claims, May's circle remains unconvinced by the evidence presented so far. The alleged daughter has said she always knew Mercury was her father and valued their relationship.
