Priscilla Heartbroken After Being Excluded from Lisa Marie’s Posthumous Memoir Plans

Priscilla Presley Finds Herself ‘Broken and Shattered’ After Involvement in Daughter Lisa Marie’s Posthumous Memoir Remains Unseen

Priscilla Presley, the iconic former wife of Elvis Presley, is reportedly heartbroken over being sidelined in the release of her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown. The news comes as sources indicate that Riley Keough, Lisa Marie’s daughter, intentionally kept Priscilla out of the loop regarding the book, leaving her feeling crushed.

According to insiders close to the Presley family, Priscilla, now 79, has been left in emotional turmoil after learning that Riley did not share an advance copy of the memoir with her. The actions seem to stem from a history of strained relations between Priscilla and Lisa Marie, who were effectively estranged for nearly eight years before Lisa’s untimely passing in early 2023.

Riley’s decision to exclude Priscilla from the memoir process reveals deeper family rifts. Sources claim that Riley was aware that her grandmother would disapprove of certain revelations contained within the pages. It’s clear that the feelings of disconnect and mistrust have lingered long after Lisa’s death, complicating family bonds further.

For added insult, while Priscilla had her own moderate success as an actress, Riley decided on a celebrated Hollywood star, Julia Roberts, to narrate the audiobook version of her mother’s story. Riley stated, “It was an honor to give voice to her wild and beautiful life,” emphasizing the level of trust she had in Roberts rather than her own grandmother.

The tensions also echo past grievances. Lisa Marie had reportedly held onto numerous complaints against Priscilla throughout their lives, allegedly blaming her for introducing her to the Church of Scientology and asserting that Priscilla often sought to control her decisions. This tumultuous relationship, characterized by love and resentment, set the stage for the current situation whereby Priscilla is feeling increasingly isolated.

As RadarOnline previously reported, Priscilla has had her share of legal disputes with Riley over control of the Presley estate and Graceland, including a significant monetary settlement for her to maintain some level of financial security after the strained relationship became public. The complexities of their familial ties have clearly manifested in the wake of Lisa Marie’s passing, leaving Priscilla in a profoundly painful position as she copes with the absence of both her daughter and the emotional distancing from her granddaughter.
