Priscilla Presley has settled her lawsuit against her granddaughter Riley Keough, but insiders say she didn’t get everything she wanted.
Priscilla’s daughter Lisa Marie died of a heart attack in January this year, aged 54, and soon after, Priscilla, 77, launched legal proceedings in a bid to wrestle back control of Elvis’ empire.
According to insiders, in addition to having more say over the family trust, the actress was hoping she would be given permission to one day be buried at Graceland, with her late ex-husband Elvis Presley and daughter.
“Although I don’t plan on going anytime soon, it is my wish to be laid to rest with my daughter and the love of my life,” she said at the time. Insiders, however, say Priscilla’s burial request has yet to be granted.
Priscilla left Love Me Tender hitmaker Elvis in 1972 due to the iconic crooner’s cheating, and the pair divorced the following year. Priscilla says they remained close friends until Elvis died of a heart attack in 1977, aged 42, and that he was the love of her life.
Following Lisa Marie’s unexpected death this year, Priscilla learned that Lisa Marie had amended the trust controlling Graceland, removing Priscilla as a co-trustee and putting her Daisy and the Six actress daughter Riley, 34, in charge.
