contested Lisa Marie\u2019s will<\/a>, which was amended in 2016 to remove her mother as a trustee.<\/p>\nShe was replaced by Riley and her brother, the late Benjamin Keough, with their half-siblings Harper and Finley Lockwood as beneficiaries.<\/p>\n
After Benjamin\u2019s death in 2020, Riley became the sole trustee of the Graceland estate.<\/p>\n
She is thought to have paid Priscilla a US$2.4m settlement after battling to maintain her trusteeship.<\/p>\n
In a letter seen by the Mirror, the strain on the grandmother and granddaughter\u2019s relationship is evident.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is really hurtful that after years of me trying to resolve your and my mother\u2019s broken relationship and restore our family, you are taking me, of all people, to court,\u201d Riley wrote to her grandmother.<\/p>\n
But Priscilla and Riley\u2019s statement suggests the pair have reconciled since the legal dispute was finalised. <\/p>\n
\u201cOur shared priority remains honouring Lisa Marie\u2019s memory and protecting Elvis\u2019 legacy with dignity,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur family is, and always has been, united in love and respect for one another.\u201d<\/p>\n
Priscilla previously sued Kruse and Fialko for financial abuse, claiming the pair had planned to \u201cdrain her of every last penny she had\u201d.<\/p>\n
The 80-year-old said her former business partners had tricked her into a series of deals against her own interests. <\/p>\n
Her lawyer has vehemently denied the accusations, describing them as \u201cabsurd\u201d and \u201cdespicable\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The lawsuit details tensions over the control of the US$500m estate, including the allegation Priscilla said \u201cI\u2019m the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[74,138,13732,13731,13730,156,2109,3561,305,13728,13727,7324,13729,111,139,69,1523,9380,13726,13181,10715,6091,5659,9343,12637,9938],"class_list":["post-11219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-after","tag-business","tag-dealings","tag-dispute","tag-embroiled","tag-entertainment","tag-family","tag-fraud","tag-have","tag-joint","tag-keough","tag-lawsuit","tag-matriarch","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-over","tag-presley","tag-priscilla","tag-released","tag-remains","tag-riley","tag-say","tag-statement","tag-together","tag-united"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
