Priscilla Presley is said to be deeply alarmed by the way her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley‘s teenage twins, Finley and Harper, are being raised by their father, Michael Lockwood. Since Lisa Marie’s untimely death in January 2023, Lockwood, 64, has had full custody of the 16-year-old girls. Now, Priscilla fears they’re now heading straight down the same troubled and tragic road that once consumed both Elvis and Lisa Marie.

Lockwood and his current wife, celebrity makeup artist Stephanie Hobgood, have allegedly turned a blind eye to boundaries, treating the girls more like grown women than impressionable teens. Finley is said to be diving headfirst into a music career, while Harper is stepping into the modeling world. These are both paths that Lisa Marie had hoped they’d never take.

According to National Enquirer insiders, Lisa Marie desperately wanted to protect her daughters from the fame that haunted her own life. Lisa Marie’s own story is a cautionary tale. Growing up in the shadow of Elvis Presley’s stardom. His untimely death due to substance abuse left deep emotional scars.

Her own life spiraled with drug issues, multiple marriages, and eventually, the heartbreaking suicide of her son, Benjamin. She believed much of the damage came from being exposed to fame too young. When it came to Finley and Harper, Lisa Marie longed for something different, normalcy, stability, and lives outside the spotlight.

Priscilla Presley Sees Red Flags Everywhere

Now, it seems everything she feared is coming to life. The twins are reportedly living a high-octane lifestyle with large monthly allowances, provocative fashion. It terrifies their grandmother, Priscilla Presley. But her hands are tied.

“Priscilla tries to exert what positive and restraining influence she can on the girls. But it only goes so far,” says an insider. “She doesn’t want to push too hard. She’s lost so many loved ones that she’s loath to alienate the girls or Michael. She doesn’t like what’s going on, but there’s only so much she can do.”

Priscilla Presley, 80, is quietly trying to maintain a connection with her granddaughters. But those close to her say she’s alarmed. She’s haunted by the familiar signs. She’s been down this road before. Now she is concerned the twins will fall victim to the same family curse that plagued Elvis, Lisa Marie, and Benjamin. Priscilla has already buried a husband, daughter, and grandson. Watching Finley and Harper slip into the same world is like reliving a nightmare.

She’s worried that history could be repeating itself, and this time, the consequences could be just as devastating. Despite Priscilla Presley’s efforts to rein things in, she fears the Presley family appears to be on the brink of yet another tragedy.

The legacy of fame, addiction, and heartbreak seems to be a cycle no one can fully escape. Finley and Harper are now chasing the same seductive spotlight that consumed Elvis and Lisa Marie. Priscilla is scared the infamous Presley curse may have found its next victims.
