Riley Keough learned not to take Priscilla Presley’s lawsuit personally. “Things with Grandma will be happy,” Keough told Vanity Fair in its September issue. “They’ve never not been happy.” Keough’s use of future tense suggests the situation made and still makes her uncomfortable. “Riley wants to keep the family together and keep Lisa Marie’s legacy in a positive light, but she feels that her grandmother’s actions are pushing the family apart,” a source told ET in February.
Keough has come to understand Presley’s side. “We are a family, but there’s also a huge business side of our family,” she said. Priscilla argues she never questioned Lisa Marie’s decision to prioritize her children. “Riley is now the executor, which should be right, obviously, being her daughter,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in August. However, Priscilla denied she and Keough ever feuded. “Riley and I are on good terms. We were never not on good terms. That was all publicity,” Priscilla said.

Indeed, Keough sees the role Priscilla played in making the Elvis estate into what it is. “She was a huge part of creating my grandfather’s legacy and Graceland. It’s very important to her,” she said. Still, Keough never expected Priscilla’s devotion would get in between them. “None of that stuff has really ever been a part of our relationship prior. She’s just been my grandma,” she explained. They’ve apparently come out the other side. “I’m there for her. She knows that,” Priscilla said.
