A 48-year-old European woman, a healthcare professional, publicly claims to be Freddie Mercury , the result of a relationship he allegedly had in 1976 when he was still rising to fame with Queen . According to her, for 30 years people in the star's inner circle kept this secret under strict confidentiality.
According to the website Ultimate Classic Rock , father and daughter built a bond away from the cameras, through discreet meetings and affectionate exchanges of letters. Over 15 years, Mercury reportedly wrote 17 notebooks filled with thoughts, memories, and reflections dedicated to her.
Previously unpublished diaries would reveal Freddie Mercury's most intimate side
According to his wife, the 17 diaries left behind by Freddie Mercury were a private collection of notes from the moment he learned he was going to be a father. The pages contained everything from everyday accounts to profound meditations on fame, love, health, and fatherhood.
The person responsible for investigating the case and gathering the accounts is Lesley-Ann Jones , a biographer and journalist who has been following the story for three years. However, she reports that, despite the initial surprise, she ended up being convinced of the authenticity of everything she saw. “We are not talking about fantasies. The amount of detail, the depth of the accounts, and the written material are impressive. Nothing there was fabricated.”
Why Freddie Mercury's daughter decided to speak out in 2025
According to her, the silence lasted out of respect for her father's memory and the promise made to those around him. But now, in middle age, she felt it was the right time to bring to light this part of the singer's life that was never known to the public. “For a long time, people close to my father protected his choice to keep my existence a secret. Now, I speak for myself, not out of coercion, but out of conviction. I want him to be heard through the words he wrote with his own hands.”
The woman states that she is not seeking fame or media exposure. She wants to preserve the emotional legacy that Freddie Mercury built with her and reveal the intimate side of a man who lived beyond the icon: sensitive, intense, and full of deep feelings.
The book ' Love, Freddie ' promises to reveal another side of the Queen vocalist.
Journalist Lesley-Ann Jones will detail the revelation in her book, Love, Freddie , scheduled for release in the coming months. In the book, she presents not only Mercury's diaries, but also a new perspective on who he was offstage.
Lesley-Ann stated that many members of the singer's inner circle knew of his daughter's existence but respected his wish to keep everything private. Now, she says it's time for the public to see a new side of the idol: that of a loving and thoughtful father.
