Is Queen Bohemian Rhapsody major or minor?

The song "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen has multiple key changes throughout its duration.

Its main, iconic section, where Freddie Mercury sings famous lyrics like "Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?", is mostly in the key of E-flat major. However, the song starts and ends in F major.

As you correctly pointed out, there is a section before the guitar solo that has both major and minor chords. It primarily alternates between F major and D minor, creating a bittersweet harmonic feel at that moment in the song.
