egret: Freddie Mercury holding a cup of tea (teatime freddie)

 Here is the archived version of the article from the Daily Mail. (Does not give them clicks.)

I do not believe this far-fetched story because 1. I don't see Freddie as a faithful diarist and 2. Unless there are also secret recordings, he never wrote songs about this beloved child, or about beloved children, or about children. He wrote songs about cats. He wrote songs about Mary. He wrote songs about men. No "secret child of my heart" song? 3. Entire story of secretive child who wants this news out there while remaining private is ridiculous. 

I sort of wish it was true. I will probably read the book anyway. But I really can't believe it.

What about y'all? Am I being too skeptical?

Leslie Ann Jones has made a career of (usually completely made-up) celebrity gossip and has written the same "definite" book on Freddie's life at least five times, so I'd take anything in her books with a grain of salt. She's the one Queen biographer whose books I have never read because she's been famously unreliable since the 90's. My guess is that she's run out of the money she made with her last gossip book and is going for a new angle with this one.
