Riley Keough Is Disappointed By Priscilla Presley’s Actions
A source told ET that Riley feels Priscilla’s challenge to the late Lisa Marie’s will goes against “her mom’s wishes.” According to them, Riley Keough is disappointed that Priscilla is challenging Lisa Marie Presley’s trust.
“Riley wants to keep the family together and keep Lisa Marie’s legacy in a positive light, but she feels that her grandmother’s actions are pushing the family apart even more,” the source said.
The insider also touched on Riley’s relationship with her grandmother, claiming that the two are estranged. The source disclosed that the mother of one wants to be close to Priscilla Presley as they are currently not.
In addition, they revealed that Lisa Marie Presley’s relationship with her mother before her death was complicated. The source shared that the mother-daughter duo was neither affectionate with each other nor did they have a healthy relationship.
“Lisa Marie was struggling, and it put a strain on her relationship with her mother,” the source continued. “Lisa Marie always felt Priscilla was trying to have control over her.”
Lisa Marie Presley’s Trust Was Intended For Her Children
The insider was forthcoming with other revelations. They added that Lisa Marie Presley’s trust was always intended for her children. The insider shared that the late singer loved her children and was ready to do her best for them.
Following Lisa Marie’s death on January 12, Graceland, the former home of Elvis Presley, went to her three daughters. Days later, Riley and Benjamin were revealed to be co-trustees of Lisa Marie’s trust in 2016.
However, Riley has remained the sole trustee since Benjamin’s death in 2020. Nevertheless, Priscilla filed in court to contest Riley’s appointment. She claimed that “there are many issues surrounding” it.
Nonetheless, Joel Weinshanker, a Managing Partner at Elvis Presley Enterprises, spoke out in favor of Riley maintaining her trustee role in the wake of Lisa Marie’s death.
Joel said that Lisa Marie’s desire was always to do what was best for her father’s estate regardless of people’s opinions. He added that Riley was Lisa Marie’s choice, which was no secret considering how she always mentioned it.
The managing partner said several of the late singer’s friends knew about this. He also disclosed that they could all testify to it during an appearance on SiriusXM‘s Elvis Radio.
Understandably, Riley Keough is disappointed over Priscilla Presley contesting Lisa Marie Presley’s trust. However, the family may be able to resolve these through dialogue. Hopefully, the family will survive the storm and pull through.
