We know Freddie would have approved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nReports of the Queen wine comes after Freddie&#8217;s alleged secret daughter has claimed he would have been &#8220;appalled&#8221; by the 2018 biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, which starred Rami Malek.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe woman &#8211; whose existence was only revealed publicly earlier this year by biographer Lesley-Ann Jones &#8211; is quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying: &#8220;Freddie would have been appalled by the movie. It would have made his hair stand on end. This film presents a version of him so far removed from the truth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe unnamed woman has even claimed that Freddie \u2013 who died aged 45 from AIDs complications \u2013 would have blocked the movie about Queen unless he was able to have some creative input.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe lovechild \u2013 who claims to be a product of an affair between Freddie and a close friend&#8217;s partner in 1976 \u2013 has even suggested that she only came forward to correct &#8220;a movie that is full of fabrication&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe alleged &#8216;secret daughter&#8217; also hit out at &#8220;the Queen machine&#8221; for exploiting the music legend following his passing.<\/p>\n<p>\nFreddie&#8217;s close friend Mary Austin suggested earlier last month that it would be &#8220;astonishing&#8221; if the star had fathered a secret daughter without her knowing.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told The Sunday Times newspaper: &#8220;Freddie had a glorious openness, and I cannot imagine he would have wanted to, or been able to, keep such a joyful event a secret, either from me or other people closest to him&#8230; <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;The truth is that I am simply not the guardian of such a secret. I\u2019ve never known of any child, or of any diaries. If Freddie had indeed had a child without me knowing anything about it, that would be astonishing to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/queen-launching-wine-1428841.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 September 2025 Queen are reportedly launching their own wine.
