There's a recent photo of her here too, she looks quite a bit older than when I once saw her in London three years ago.

And in about 3 years time, there will be more money for her. All the royals from 2018 are gonna be paid in 2021...

Does she really deserve all that money? I know next to nothing about her, but I wonder if this is how it should be.

She inherited the rights. What are you wankers even debating it????

Would look better on her if she gave even as little as 1% to the Mercury Phoenix Trust though...

Same goes for Brian, Roger and John for that matter. Do you REALLY need that extra 40 million? Might as well lend a huge helping hand to the foundation that fights against the disease that killed your bandmate.

And how exactly do you know what charitable donations they make?

What a load of rubbish - they state she'll simply get a straight 19% of all the film profits?!!!

Yes she'll get a lot of extra income from associated sales of official Queen/Freddie music and merchandise, but the film profits will be split other ways before the band get any residual royalties....the studio, the producers. and others that provided the finance guarantees will be the ones to reap the mighty rewards of their initial risk and outlay first.

@Togg (sorry, don't seem to be able to quote on my phone)

You're absolutely right, I made an assumption I shouldn't have made. Let me rephrase it to: It would be a damn shame IF they didn't give anything from the film's profits the MPT.
