Riley Keough hit Graceland over the weekend to promote her mother Lisa Marie Presley’s posthumous memoir From Here To The Great Unknown.
Keough did an interview with Nicole Richie at The Soundstage at the fame Graceland, once the home to Elvis Presley.
Riley was also seen with her grandmother Priscilla Presley. She was the ex-wife of Elvis and mother to Lisa Marie, his only child.
Priscilla was brought out on to the stage to help bring more context to the memoir by sharing about her life with the King of Rock ‘N’ Roll.
In the book, Lisa Marie covers her love for her father and how much she struggled after his death, her romantic relationships, motherhood, the devastating death of her son Benjamin in 2020 and the birth of her granddaughter, Keough’s two-year-old daughter Tupelo.

Keough spent part of her day with grandmother Priscilla Presley, putting to rest any thoughts of there being resentments still lingering following their dispute over the late Lisa Marie Presley’s trust and will
Before the event Keough and her Presley were photographed in different areas of the Graceland property, including outside where the two sat on a golf cart, which is significant because Lisa Marie had a habit of crashing those carts.
Looking classy and stylish, Keough hit the stage in a gorgeous white dress that came down to around the knees that paired with a large necklace piece that stretches across most of her neckline.
She would also push her long dark locks back off her face with hair band, which fell down well past her shoulders.
There was one session where Keogh sat down with her grandmother for a conversation, and another of her with just Richie, who also handled any questions for the either of the ladies.
Presley, 79, looked youthful in dark slacks and a black leather and brown suede jacket with black leather boots, and her long red locks styled straight and long with a center part.
While grandmother and granddaughter looked blissful as they toured the Graceland property, it was just over a year ago that things got pretty tense between them over Lisa Marie’s trust and will.
In September, Keough spoke about the ‘chaos’ that followed her mother’s passing and explained that her relationship with grandmother was now returning to ‘how it was’ before the trust dispute.
In January 2023, Priscilla filed a petition to challenge a 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie’s will that would remove Priscilla and Barry Siegel as co-trustees of Lisa Marie’s Promenade Trust, and named Riley and her late brother Benjamin as the new co-trustees, according to People.

‘Everyone was in a bit of a panic to understand how we move forward, and it just took a minute to understand the details of the situation, because it’s complicated,’ the The Runaways actress explained. ‘We are a family, but there’s also a huge business side of our family. So I think that there was clarity that needed to be had.’
To help end the dispute, Keough was named the sole trustee of Lisa Marie’s estate and of the sub-trusts for her 14-year-old twin sisters Harper and Finley Lockwood.
Priscilla Presley will serve as trustee of the sub-trust of her son (Lisa Marie’s half-brother) Navarone Garibaldi, who will be granted 1/9 of the trust, the documents stated. The rest will be split among Riley, Finley and Harper.
As part of the agreement, Keough was ordered to give grandmother a $1 million lump-sum payment, as well as a $400,000 one-time sum for legal fees and costs, as part of a previous settlement.
