Priscilla Presley, known for being the former wife of music icon Elvis Presley, has recently opened up about her relationship with her granddaughter, Riley Keough. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE magazine, Priscilla clarified that despite the ongoing legal battles and allegations made against her, she has never had any issues with Riley.

The current legal battle Priscilla is facing involves allegations of financial elder abuse and theft by her former business partners, Brigitte Kruse and Kevin Fialko.

As a great-grandmother to Riley’s children, Priscilla finds joy in seeing her granddaughter thrive in her role as a mother. She praises Riley’s husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, and expresses happiness for their growing family. Despite the challenges she has faced, Priscilla remains grateful for the positive moments in her life, cherishing the happiness and success of her loved ones.
In her upcoming memoir, ‘Softly, as I Leave You: Life After Elvis’, Priscilla delves into the personal struggles she has endured, from Elvis’s death in 1977 to the recent loss of her grandson Benjamin Keough. She shares intimate details of her experiences, including the heart-wrenching decision to remove Lisa Marie from life support and cope with the aftermath of such traumatic events.
Priscilla’s resilience and determination to reclaim her narrative shine through as she navigates the complexities of her past and present. Despite the hardships, she remains active and engaged in life, earning her the nickname “Energizer Bunny” from her staff. Priscilla’s unwavering spirit and commitment to her family serve as a testament to her strength and enduring legacy in the entertainment industry.
As Priscilla continues to face challenges and misconceptions, she remains steadfast in her pursuit of truth and authenticity. Her story is one of resilience, love, and the enduring bond she shares with her family.
