Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough recently celebrated the middle school graduation of Lisa Marie Presley’s twin daughters, Harper and Finley, after the family reached a legal settlement over the late singer’s trust. Priscilla shared a family photo on Instagram, where she was seen standing with the “Daisy Jones and the Six” actress, Keough, and the twins. The family gathering came just days after Keough and her grandmother reached an agreement on Lisa Marie’s estate matters. According to court documents, Keough agreed to pay Priscilla a $1 million lump-sum payment in addition to another $400,000 to cover her legal fees.
Details of the Settlement and Rumors of Family Squabbles
Although Priscilla was reportedly denied her request to be buried next to Elvis Presley during negotiation talks, she denied rumors of a family squabble in court documents. The legal drama surrounding Lisa Marie’s estate had caused Priscilla and Keough to stop talking to each other, according to a source. However, Priscilla fired the lawyers responsible for disputing the will. This month, Priscilla shared how pleased she was with the way their legal issues were resolved, noting that her late husband would be happy.
Memorial for Lisa Marie Presley and Sweet Words
Lisa Marie Presley died on Jan. 12 at the age of 54 after going into cardiac arrest, and she was laid to rest in a garden at Graceland beside her beloved late son Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide at the age of 27 in 2020. Elvis and his parents, Vernon and Gladys Presley, are also buried in the garden of the Memphis, Tenn., property. At the time of her death, Priscilla shared sweet words about her only daughter with Elvis, calling her “the most passionate, strong, and loving woman I have ever known.” During Lisa Marie’s memorial, Keough’s husband read a letter on her behalf, expressing her eternal gratitude and love for her mother.
