Priscilla Presley insists there is no family feud over her late daughter Lisa Marie’s $35 million estate
The 77-year-old former wife of Elvis Presley has reportedly been battling her actress granddaughter Riley Keough, 33, about Lisa’s will since the singer was killed by a double heart attack aged 54 in January, but has now said they are “just fine”.
She said in Newcastle during her UK tour of her ‘Evening with Priscilla Presley’ talks when asked if she and Riley are on speaking terms: “We are just fine.”

It has also been reported Priscilla and Lisa Marie were barely speaking due to the actress siding with her daughter’s former husband Michael in his long and bitter divorce from the singer – despite the fact they appeared in public together, including at the Golden Globes, where Austin Butler, 31, won best actor for playing The king in Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Elvis’ biopic two days before Lisa-Marie’s…
