Priscilla Presley is fuming over granddaughter Riley Keough’s latest actions regarding the family’s most treasured landmark, Elvis Presley’s iconic Graceland estate. Tensions are reportedly rising as the two clash over how Riley is managing the King of Rock and Roll’s legacy, with Priscilla believing her granddaughter’s behavior is falling far short of what Elvis Presley and her late mom, Lisa Marie Presley, would have wanted.
Sources close to the family claim that Riley Keough has transformed Elvis’ sacred Memphis estate into something more reminiscent of a frat house than a musical landmark. Once the evening tours shut down, the estate allegedly turns into a full-blown party scene.
Guests are said to have free rein across the entire 13.8-acre property. Which includes the pool area and even the private family cemetery, where Elvis, his parents, his daughter Lisa Marie, and grandson Benjamin are laid to rest.
The rowdy gatherings have reportedly included poolside romps and guests wandering through the cemetery, behavior that many insiders view as deeply disrespectful. According to the National Enquirer’s family sources, what was intended as a peaceful, reverent space to honor Elvis’ memory has become overrun with noise, chaos, and disregard for the estate’s original purpose.
These gatherings have reignited old tensions between Riley and her grandmother Priscilla, who previously fought a bitter legal battle over control of Graceland. Following Lisa Marie Presley’s death in 2023, Riley was named the sole trustee of the estate. This is a move that Priscilla initially challenged in court. The legal feud ended with an out-of-court settlement, but the resentment never disappeared.
Riley Keough’s Lack Of Respect Devastates Priscilla Presley
Now, Priscilla Presley is reportedly fuming over how the estate is being used under Riley’s leadership. Sources say she finds the parties “obnoxious.” Priscilla feels they dishonor Elvis’ legacy, especially considering the emotional weight the estate carries for fans worldwide.
While Riley Keough may be stirring up controversy, she did recently protect Graceland from being seized in a fraudulent scheme. Scammers tried to claim Lisa Marie had defaulted on a loan tied to the estate. However, Riley successfully blocked the attempted auction in court. Still, critics argue that saving the property doesn’t excuse disrespectful behavior on the grounds.
Elvis Presley’s death anniversary is approaching. Elvis Week kicks off on August 8th. Tensions within the Presley family are boiling over again. Fans are preparing to head to Graceland to honor the King. However, they may find themselves caught in the middle of a very public family feud.
Whether this family feud will stay behind closed doors is anyone’s guess, but one thing’s certain. Graceland is no longer the quiet, sacred ground it once was. Emotions are running high, and tensions are bubbling beneath the surface. So it looks like it is only a matter of time before devoted Elvis fans take sides. And this Presley drama erupts into an even bigger public spectacle.
