A photo of London terrorist Khalid Masood’s 18-year-old daughter has allegedly surfaced – providing a glimpse into the man’s frustrations.
According to The Sun, Masood tried to convince both of his daughters to convert to Islam and don burqas. His eldest reportedly heeded and, like her father – whose name was originally Adrian Elms – took on an Arabic name.
But then there’s Teegan.

The Sun reports that six years ago, Teegan’s older sister Andi converted to Islam and left to live with her father. Teegan remained with her mother, a woman by the name of Jane Harvey.
The two can be seen below.
Jane and Masood were reportedly a very happy couple until the latter was jailed in the early 2000s for slashing a man’s face with a knife outside a pub.
Masood received a two-year sentence for his actions – which he ultimately defended as having been due to racism on his victim’s part.
When he emerged, he was allegedly a changed man – no longer interested in his wife Jane Harvey or their daughters.
Instead, he was allegedly obsessed with Islam.
Fast forward towards more recent times, The Sun reports that Jane Harvey – having lost her eldest daughter to her Islam-obsessed husband – “fought desperately” to prevent Teegan from converting.
“Jane was against it and there was quite a family struggle,” The Sun quotes one friend of Jane’s as saying. “I know Jane was very upset and wanted her to stay hope and continue her studies.”
According to The Express, that same source claims Masood would attempt to change Teegan’s mind by filling her head “with how good the religion was” and telling her “she would be better off if she converted.”
It appears Teegan never left her mother as the two are reportedly keeping a low profile together in the wake of last week’s attack.
There is reportedly no evidence to suggest that Jane or Teegan knew of Khalid Masood’s plans for last week’s attack.
