These days Priscilla is still monetizing on the Presley name. She often appears on television, usually playing herself in TV movies such as “Christmas at Graceland: Home for the Holidays”, “Wedding at Graceland”, and the documentary “Elvis Presley: The Searcher”.
Additionally, she released a book in 2020 titled “Elvis by the Presleys: Intimate Stories from Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley, and Other Family Members”. Unfortunately, 2020 also brought some hard news for Priscilla and her family.
Lisa Marie Follows in Her Mother’s Footsteps
Priscilla has dated her fair share of men over the years including photographer Terry O’Neill, financier Kirk Kerkorian, and lawyer Robert Kardashian. It was her daughter’s relationship with Michael Jackson, however, that worried her.
The two met when Lisa Marie was just seven years old attending one of his concerts and later married in 1994 just 20 days after divorcing her first husband. Fortunately, their marriage only lasted two years and Lisa Marie didn’t end up trapped in a controlling relationship like her mother.
Haunted
In an interview, Priscilla claimed that she can see and hear Elvis’ presence when she goes to Graceland. She said it feels like communicating with his spirit. She can see him coming down the stairs, laughing, or playing music.
According to her, it’s more beautiful than scary. Apparently, she’s not the only one who has these experiences!
Tragedy Hits the Presley Family
Lisa Marie’s son, Benjamin Storm Keough, took his own life on July 12, 2020, at just 27 years old. The tragedy shocked the Presley family. Lisa Marie’s manager released a statement on her behalf saying that she is crushed but doing her best to hold on for her three remaining children.
Little is known about Priscilla’s grandson other than how similar he looked to his grandfather. Lisa Marie once said that the two were so alike that many people wanted to take a photo with Benjamin when seeing the resemblance.
Priscilla Grieving
Understandably, the Presley family is devastated by their loss. Priscilla took to Facebook to express her grief saying, “These are some of the darkest days of my family’s life. The shock of losing Ben has been devastating. Trying to put all the pieces together of all the possible ways has penetrated my soul. Each day I wake up I pray it will get better.”
Ben was last publically seen going out with his family on the 40th anniversary of Elvis’ death. A vigil was held at Graceland in honor of the late King of Rock.
