Mary Austin was one of the most significant figures in Freddie Mercury’s life, despite the fact that she was very different from the flamboyant frontman of Queen.
The deaf parents of the soft-spoken working-class girl raised her, and she stood at Freddie Mercury’s side until his passing in 1991.
Actress Lucy Boynton portrays Mary, one of the key characters in the film Bohemian Rhapsody.
The in-person The West London mansion where Freddie passed away in 1991 due to an AIDS-related sickness is currently home to Mary Austin. She didn’t remove memorials to the late singer until last year.
Who inherited Freddie Mercury’s money and estate?
In his September 1991 will, Freddie left half of his enormous riches to Mary and the other half to his parents and sister.
Most of his acquaintances, including his boyfriend Jim Hutton, received either a house or £500,000 each. When Freddie died at 45, Mary was by his bedside, holding his hand.
Later, she fulfilled his request for his ashes to be covertly scattered. She has never disclosed the ashes’ location, despite numerous rumors that she placed them in Kensal Green Cemetery or under the cherry tree in his garden.
