In her new memoir, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, Priscilla, 80, confesses that she furious about Lisa Marie - who passed away in 2023 at the age of 54 - deciding to marry Michael. She says she was "appalled by the marriage," and that she had "asked her if they had a physical relationship," because after rumours that they didn't, "Like so many people, I wasn't sure."

Writing in an excerpt obtained by The Sun she continued, "I knew in my bones that Michael wasn't marrying Lisa Marie; he was marrying the Presley dynasty." Priscilla alleges in her book that she felt Michael was seeking "good publicity" after facing allegations of child molestation, which he vehemently denied.

Priscilla claimed that Lisa Marie was adamant that Michael was innocent, and Michael had started reaching out to Lisa Marie during his child abuse scandal.

She wrote, "Michael was a manipulative man, and I think he had his sights set on her long before she realized it. The childlike innocence he projected was part of his public mask."

She also called her own relationship with her former son-in-law "bizarre." Priscilla also shared that Lisa Marie told her Michael wanted to have a baby but she had pleaded with her to wait.

Lisa Marie filed for divorce two years later and Priscilla said she was relieved and that she "could practically hear Elvis sigh with relief."

In her own memoir - From Here to the Great Unknown - which was released posthumously in October 2024 after being written from tapes by her daughter Riley Keough, Lisa Marie shared that Michael had said he was a virgin when they started dating.

She wrote, "He told me he was still a virgin. I think he had kissed Tatum O'Neal, and he'd had a thing with Brooke Shields, which hadn't been physical apart from a kiss. He said Madonna had tried to hook up with him once, too, but nothing happened."

Lisa Marie added, "I was terrified, because I didn't want to make the wrong move. When he decided to first kiss me, he just did it. He was instigating everything.

"The physical stuff started happening, which I was shocked at. I had thought that maybe we wouldn't do anything until we got married, but he said, 'I'm not waiting!'"
