'The Masked Singer' Season 10 Elton John Night Spoiler: Billie Jean King is Royal Hen, here are the clues
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Royal Hen got unmasked in 'The Masked Singer' Season 10 Elton John Night. The masked singer was then revealed to be 39-time Grand Slam Champion and activist Billie Jean King.
Well, it seems fans were certain about the celebrity singer's identity ahead of the episode's premiere. Seeing the small stature of the celebrity under the Royal Hen mask, fans placed their bet on the American former numero uno tennis player.
Since, 'The Masked Singer' Season 10 Episode 5 is a tribute to singer Elton John, and Billie inspired the British singer to write the song 'Philadelphia Freedom', fans were certain that it is the legendary player who is beneath the mask.
After seeing the Royal Hen's performance and hearing the voice of a woman, fans claimed that it was that of an old woman. Fans speculated that since Billie's name has 'King' in it, the Royal Hen's name is also a clue to Billie's identity.
A fan placed the leaked video of Royal Hen's performance of the song 'Philadelphia Freedom' on the Reddit thread under the title, 'Royal Hen Performance'. One contributor commented, "Billie Jean King. Elton wrote that song about her."
Another explained, "Just going to say this! She is 79 and the change to 'Royal' Hen would fit her perfectly considering her last name 'King'. " A fan concurred, 'I agree with this guess, she definitely fits the legendary bill. And since Royal Hen seemed short, and so is she, this guess so far definitely makes the most sense."
Another affirmed, 'Yeah. I hope you’re right! That’d be awesome!"
One user asked, 'Billie Jean King?" to this, another replied, "Honestly, Maybe?"
