It\u2019s about Mary Austin: For seven years Freddie and Mary were deeply in love. Then the artist chooses to live his sexuality in a different way, but the paths of the two don\u2019t separate, actually. Mary herself will in fact know about Freddie\u2019s last secret: the location where his ashes are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But let\u2019s go with order. Mary meets Freddie when she was 19 years old in 1969. She is an art student and works as a cashier in a famous boutique in Kensington, Biba. \u201cHe was different from everybody I had known up until that moment,\u201d remembers Mary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"552\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-16.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2702\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-16.png 552w, https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-16-300x283.png 300w, https:\/\/artgardenhub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-16-380x358.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe had a lot of confidence in himself, which I lacked. I liked it, we grew up together\u201d. And it\u2019s love so much that Freddie proposes to Mary, in Christmas 1973. Freddie\u2019s decision to indulge his homosexuality ruins the project, but the two will always be united. At the point where Mary is at the artist\u2019s nipple, 1991.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mary recalls: \u201cI had great love for him. I\u2019d sit next to her bed for hours even while she slept. At one point he opened his eyes, looked at me and said: \u2018Ah, it is you, my faithful friend.'\u201d. Of her Freddie actually loved to say: \u201cAll my lovers have asked me why no one can replace Mary, but for me it\u2019s just impossible: she\u2019s my only friend, and I don\u2019t want anyone else.\u201d It\u2019s like a wedding to me\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And here comes the secret that Mary is a keeper: only she actually knows where Freddie Mercury is buried. Kensal Green Cemetery in London has only one headstone written \u201cIn Loving Memory of Farrokh Bulsara\u201d, Freddie\u2019s real name, but the ashes aren\u2019t there. They were entrusted to Mery, who took them to safety. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/ted\/2\/16\/2764.png\" alt=\"\u2764\ufe0f\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t1f\/2\/16\/1f64f.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude4f\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (Live Aid 1985)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vbvyNnw8Qjg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Freddie Mercury with Mary Austin,1976.
