LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ahead of the premiere of 'The Masked Singer' Season 10 'Elton John Night', the first look of Royal Hen's performance has been revealed. And, listening to the masked singer's voice, fans are certain that it is Billie Jean King under this mask.
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 are 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 claim it is that of an old woman. Fans speculate 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 contributer 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?"
