Priscilla Presley addressed the alleged feud she had with Riley Keough when they fought over Lisa Marie Presley's estate.

Reports suggested that the grandmother-granddaughter tandem was arguing after Lisa Marie changed some parts of her will. Priscilla then filed an appeal to get her hands on the estate but failed in the end.

Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough Never Had a Feud

The Hollywood Reporter recently welcomed Priscilla to make her the subject of its new cover story. In the accompanying interview, she told the news outlet the truth about her alleged fight with her granddaughter.

Priscilla acknowledged Riley's win as the executor of the estate, saying it was right because she is Lisa Marie's daughter.

She added that she and her granddaughter are on good terms, clarifying they were never not on good terms despite the previous reports.

"That was all publicity. This is private and this is not something to fool around with and say that we're not agreeing," she said. "In fact, I'm having dinner with [Riley] tonight. We understand what needs to be done. I'm there for her. She knows that. She wants me there for her to help her."

Riley Keough Also Debunked Drama

Priscilla's comment mirrored what Riley told Vanity Fair in her interview with the news outlet.

The "Daisy Jones & The Six" actress called her grandmother a "beautiful woman" who played a huge role in creating Elvis Presley's legacy and Graceland. She added that Priscilla was the late King of Rock and Roll's love of his life.

"Anything that would suggest otherwise in the press makes me sad because, at the end of the day, all she wants is to love and protect Graceland and the Presley family and the legacy," she went on.

Riley noted that there had been chaos in the family since Lisa Marie died, especially since the members felt like the "carpet had been ripped out and the floor had melted" from under them.

She ultimately won the case and became Lisa Marie's estate's sole trustee. Her twin half-sisters, Harper and Finley Lockwood, will be the sub-trusts.
