Priscilla Presley has spoken about the impact of her daughter Lisa Marie's death in 2023, saying it has 'separated' the family. Lisa Marie, the only child of Priscilla and Elvis Presley, died at 54 from complications of weight loss surgery.
Speaking at an event in Las Vegas, Priscilla, 80, said: 'Because, you know, we would get together and have meals and, of course, you know, have family.' She noted that Lisa Marie's twin daughters, Finley and Harper, now 18, 'have their boyfriends and, you know, do their thing.'
However, Priscilla's son Navarone Garibaldi, 39, disagreed, saying the 2020 suicide of Lisa Marie's son Benjamin Keough was the 'first thing that separated' the family. He explained: 'When you would think that would be something that should bring everybody together, that somehow separated us further, because everybody grieves in different ways... Now, after my sister died, I feel like now we're actually coming closer together.'
Priscilla previously called Lisa Marie's death 'the second saddest day of my life, other than losing Elvis.' In the months after, a legal dispute over Lisa Marie's estate saw granddaughter Riley Keough named sole trustee. Despite this, Priscilla insisted there was no feud, saying: 'Riley and I have never had a problem.'
