It’s clear that Priscilla Presley loves her late husband and reminiscing about Elvis, the King of Rock and Roll.

“He had the best laugh,” smiles the actress, author and businesswoman. Thinking back to their life together at Graceland, she recalls: “He just had a great sense of humour and [was] fun to be with.”

In this personal chat with HELLO!, Priscilla, who recently released a memoir about her life, reflects on their six-year marriage and 18-year friendship and how they remained close even after their divorce in 1973.

Priscilla, who starred in the Eighties TV series Dallas and the Naked Gun franchise, tells us: “We always remained friendly and would still get together.

“Of course, we had our daughter [Lisa Marie, who died on 12 January 2023, aged 54], and I would bring her to see her dad perform and made sure they spent a lot of time together. She'd spent extensive time with him at Graceland. We still cared for each other.”

Family is paramount to Priscilla, 80, who also has a 38-year-old son, Navarone Garibaldi, and is a grandmother to Lisa Marie’s children: the actress Riley Keough, 36, and 17-year-old twins Finley and Harper. She’s also a great-grandmother to Riley’s two children, three-year-old Tupelo and a baby born in 2025.

STRONG FAMILY BONDS

She has lived through unspeakable tragedy in the past few years, losing Lisa Marie in 2023 and her grandson – Lisa Marie’s son – Benjamin in 2020. She has a particularly strong bond with Lisa Marie's daughter Riley.
