Priscilla Presley filed a lawsuit over Lisa Marie Presley’s will which put Riley Keough incharge of Graceland
Priscilla Presley denies any bad blood between her and granddaughter Riley Keough amid their legal battle over Lisa Marie Presley’s estate.
In fact, the former wife of late icon Elvis Presley reportedly told the audience at An Evening to Remember With Priscilla Presley, an event in the UK this week, that she still maintains a close relationship with Riley, per Entertainment Tonight.
The event was to treat fans to an extensive Q&A session. ET
spoke with Jackie Howse, who not only attended the highly anticipated event,
but also was among the 30 or so fans lucky enough to score a meet-and-greet
with Priscilla.
“She was absolutely lovely,” Howse told the
outlet. “[I] wasn’t 100 percent sure what to expect … she was very softly
spoken, very gracious. She really did make me feel comfortable.”
Howse
shared that the 77-year-old actress even addressed the ongoing reports about
feud between her and Riley.
“[Priscilla] just said, ‘You know, I
went to dinner with [her] before I came [here],’” he shared. “She said,
‘Everything’s good.’”
As for a so-called fallout, Howse said Priscilla noted, “That’s
not the case at all. They weren’t true.”
However, Howse said
Priscilla mentioned that there was some tension in their relations for a bit
but not anymore. “It was very brief, but she just said, ‘Don’t believe
what’s been said.’”
According to him, at one point she got
emotional as well.
He divulged that Priscilla maintained, “Riley
and I get along well.”
Days after Lisa Marie’s funeral, Priscilla
filed a petition in Los Angeles in January questioning the “authenticity and
validity” of a 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie’s trust, which removed Priscilla
as a co-trustee and put Riley in charge.
