How much of the Garden Lodge Dining Book was from Freddie's hand?

Freddie Mercury | Garden Lodge Dining Book

I think the majority was not Freddie's handwriting. But the page said "entries principally in Mercury's autograph".

From the few photos they're showing of the inside, not much. It looks like your typical guest book wherein your guests sign it and not you. There clearly more pages than they're showing, but there's no way to know what's in it unless they upload more pics.

The green pen signatures must be guests'.

How about the writing in pencil？The menu, wine, flowers, etc.. Do they look like Freddie's？

And there're two more pages.

At first glance, I thought maybe but it actually looks more like Peter Freestone's hand. The capital R is very much a Peter over Freddie thing. There are a couple things written in some of the pages that are definitely Freddie, though. Not the majority
