Lisa Marie Presley Related To Oprah Winfrey? TV Mogul Reveals They Called Each Other 'Cuz'

Lisa Marie Presley was finally laid to rest beside the two men in her life - her dad Elvis Presley and her son Benjamin Keough.

On January 22, the memorial ceremony, which served as a celebration of her life, came to an end at the Meditation Garden at Graceland.

On the same lawn where she cut a ceremonial cake to honor her father's 88th birthday, hundreds of people gathered to bid farewell to Lisa Marie.

Along with the problematic celebrity's family and friends, notable figures were there, including "Elvis" actor Austin Butler, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, Guns N' Roses vocalist Axl Rose, and many more.

But a bouquet of white flowers, allegedly from Oprah Winfrey, was one among the gifts left at her grave.

The TV mogul also revealed that they called each other "cuz," but are they related?

Are Lisa Marie Presley and Oprah Winfrey Related?

Oprah Winfrey and Lisa Marie Presley have a long history together, with the media mogul interviewing the mother-of-four four times in recent years.

Oprah sent flowers in lieu of attending the mourning ceremony in person, according to a report by Ace Showbiz.

Between the graves of Lisa Marie and Benjamin were Oprah's flowers.

Following the singer's passing, Oprah published an emotional message to her website claiming to be very close to Lisa Marie.

The media executive described the origin of their "cuz" endearment.

"My maternal ancestors were also Presleys, so we would often call each other 'Cuz.' While Henry Louis Gates confirmed we weren't actually related, we always liked to think so."

She said, "Throughout the years, we had many conversations-on camera, off camera, and even on hikes-and she was always 100% genuine."

Oprah and Lisa Marie have discussed a variety of subjects over the past few years, with the latter confiding in her friend that she wasn't a fan of her famous birth and status.

"I'm not someone who desires or wants attention," the 54-year-old said. "I've never been one of those people that run around, walking every red carpet... I'm just innately not the kind of person that wants attention on me."

Because of her mother, Priscilla, Lisa Marie Presley was able to have as typical of a childhood as possible while being the daughter of the King of Rock 'n' Roll.
