Priscilla Presley Sets the Record Straight: "Never a Problem" with Granddaughter Riley Keough Amidst Estate Buzz

In a heartfelt declaration that has finally brought peace to swirling family rumors, Priscilla Presley has emphatically stated that there was "never a problem" between her and beloved granddaughter, Riley Keough. Her comments come as a soothing balm after months of intense public speculation regarding a purported feud over the estate of her late daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.

Speaking with a clear and confident tone at an event in Las Vegas, Priscilla directly addressed the media frenzy that had depicted a deep rift within the iconic Presley family.

"Riley is now the trustee, and she will be great," Priscilla shared, underscoring her confidence in her granddaughter. "We're just fine. We have never had a problem. This is all something the media has created." This statement aims to put to rest the narratives that painted a picture of a fractured family battling over a legacy.

The genesis of these rumors dates back to the tragic passing of Lisa Marie Presley in January.

Following her death, a dispute emerged concerning her will, particularly the administration of the coveted Graceland trust. Documents revealed that Lisa Marie had amended her will in 2016, a decision that removed her mother, Priscilla, and her former business manager, Barry Siegel, as co-trustees. In their place, she named her children, Riley and her late brother Benjamin Keough, as co-trustees.

This amendment sparked a legal challenge from Priscilla, who sought to clarify the "authenticity and validity" of the 2016 document.

The legal proceedings, while appearing contentious from an outsider's perspective, were ultimately a family matter seeking clarity. The resolution arrived in May 2023, with Riley Keough officially being appointed as the sole trustee of her mother's estate. This settlement included a lump-sum payment for Priscilla, an allowance to cover her legal fees, and the significant provision that she would be allowed to be buried at Graceland alongside Elvis and Lisa Marie.

Despite the necessary legal processes, both Priscilla and Riley have consistently maintained that their personal relationship remained strong and filled with love.

Priscilla’s recent comments echo sentiments she shared earlier, emphasizing, "We are a family, and always will be. We love each other. We are not in a feud." Similarly, Riley Keough, in a candid interview with Vanity Fair, beautifully articulated her feelings: "I've always loved my grandma.

I want to work with her, and my mom always wanted us to work together. We're a family, and we're always going to be a family."

The settlement not only resolved the financial and legal aspects but also solidified Riley's role as the torchbearer of the Presley legacy, entrusted with managing Graceland and her mother’s estate for her younger twin sisters, Harper and Finley.

The public clarification from Priscilla serves as a powerful reminder that while legalities sometimes require formal navigation, the bonds of family, especially in the wake of profound loss, can remain unbreakable.
