Lisa Marie Presley Eulogy: Pregnant Riley Keough, Lockwood Twins Remembers 'Mama' In Emotional Message

Lisa Marie Presley's emotional eulogy on her father's estate, the Graceland Mansion in Memphis, Tennessee, was filled with mourning and a little bit of celebration because of the surprising announcement of Lisa's eldest daughter, Riley Keough.

Presley, the only child of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, and Priscilla, succumbed to death last Jan. 12, 2023, after suffering a possible cardiac arrest.

Since her death, Hollywood has been mourning the loss of a great talent who has made strides in the music and entertainment industry despite not making it that big like his father.

In her star-studded eulogy on his father's mansion, Graceland, in Memphis, Presley's eldest daughter, Riley, penned a heartfelt and emotional letter to her mother.

However, Riley wasn't the one who read her letter out loud; it was his husband, Ben Smith-Petersen. While the letter was expected to be an ode for her mother, Riley shocked everyone when she made a revelation in her eulogy.

"I hope I can love my daughter the way you loved me, the way you loved my brother and my sisters. Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humor, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity," Riley wrote, revealing that her mother passed away as a grandmother. "I'm a product of your heart, my sisters are a product of your heart, my brother is a product of your heart."

The 33-year-old actress subtly announced her pregnancy during the touching eulogy. She is set to play Daisy Jones in the upcoming Amazon Original series, "Daisy Jones & The Six," a television project based on the book of the same title by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

The Presley household has been in mourning since the news about Lisa Marie's death was passed.

Lisa's youngest daughters, Harper and Finley Lockwood, also penned a heartfelt letter for their mother, which their grandmother Priscilla read.

"I have no idea how to put my mother into words, truth is there are too many. Lisa Marie Presley was an icon, a role model, a superhero to many people all over the world, but Mama was my icon, my role model, my superhero in much more ways than one. Even now, I can't get across everything there is to be understood or known about her but as she always said, 'I'll do my best.'," they wrote.

Lisa Marie Presley is laid to rest between his only son, Benjamin Keough, who died last 2020 due to a self-inflicted gunshot.
