However, the King of Rock and Roll was not prepared to let Priscilla move on easily. Elvis would call her at unexpected times, and Robert once complained that the legendary singer "doesn't stop controlling [Priscilla]," according to a friend, Larry Kraines.
Tom Kardashian, Robert's brother, informed Oppenheimer that Priscilla made a genuine effort to make their relationship work and even "changed him easily because she was so attractive and had an influence on him."
In a last-ditch effort, Priscilla attempted to cook an elaborate meal for Robert, which he reportedly "hated," as noted by Tom. "She said that after that meal, he never suggested that she make dinner for him again," highlighting the moment when Priscilla decided to "never marry anyone until Elvis dies."
