I don’t know either. It doesn’t matter if she was his “common-law wife”; it was his $$ and he could leave it to whoever he wanted. I believe the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody” is accurate.
Well, there are some movie errors. The biggest was Freddie telling the band he’s HIV+ before Live Aid (that’s 1985). In reality, He didn’t find out until 1987, and by most accounts he waited almost until the end to tell his band mates.
Broadly, it’s an accurate film and celebrates the band vs the sleazier side. By contrast, every movie about Karen Carpenter is about eating disorders with a smattering of music. If I want a PSA I’ll frequent PBS.
