Priscilla Presley set the record straight regarding the buzz surrounding her and Riley Keough's relationship amid the legal dispute over Lisa Marie Presley's will.

Priscilla and her granddaughter, Riley, are currently involved in a legal battle after Elvis Presley's wife questioned the authenticity and validity of Lisa Marie's will and living trust amendment. Since her filing, there have been reports suggesting that the grandmother-granddaughter tandem is no longer on speaking terms.

Priscilla Presley Reveals Status of Relationship With Riley Keough

Priscilla and Riley will be facing each other during the scheduled hearing on April 13. Ahead of the event, the "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" star appeared on the "An Evening With Priscilla Presley" tour.

As reported by The Independent, the actress was asked about her alleged feud with her granddaughter due to the legal dispute. But according to the actress, everything is fine between them and their other family members.

She was still asked if she remains in contact with Keough, to which she insisted, "We are just fine."

This resonated with what Lisa Marie's half-brother Navarone Garcia revealed when he was asked about the issue on Instagram. The 36-year-old even confirmed that Priscilla and Keough went out for dinner to reconnect amid the rumors.

"Yes they are fine. No feud, we did go to dinner, it went great, it's all good," he went on.

The tension started four days after the family held a memorial service for Lisa Marie.

At that time, Priscilla - through her attorneys - filed a petition in Los Angeles questioning the validity and authenticity of the 2016 amendment applied to her daughter's living trust. The change included the removal of Priscilla and Lisa Marie's former business manager Barry Siegel as co-trustees.

The late singer replaced them with Riley and Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020. The amended document shows that Lisa Marie's children will have full control of her trust - the Graceland mansion and a 15 percent stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises (EPE).

Priscilla insisted that she was unaware of the changes until Lisa Marie died. Thus, she wanted it to be voided. She supported her filing by noting that Lisa Marie failed to inform her of the amendment and that her signature was seemingly forged and name was misspelled in the document.
