In 1972, Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley decided to separate, and their divorce was finalized in 1973. Following the divorce, the King of Rock and Roll moved on with his life and soon encountered his next significant romantic interest, Linda Thompson. Thompson, who was a 22-year-old beauty queen at the time, was captivated by the 37-year-old music legend, and they embarked on a passionate relationship that endured for four years.

During their relationship, Linda also had the opportunity to meet and spend time with Elvis’ daughter, Lisa Marie Presley. However, during one of their initial encounters, Linda learned a difficult truth about the King’s former wife.

In her memoir, A Little Thing Called Life: On Loving Elvis Presley, Bruce Jenner, and Songs in Between, Thompson recounted the incident and shared that the legendary musician’s daughter explained Priscilla’s unfavorable remarks. “Well,” Lisa Marie said, “My mommy says it’s because when she was married to my daddy, he didn’t take her anywhere, but my daddy takes you everywhere,” she wrote in the book. “You are always with my daddy, and my mommy never got to be with my daddy. So that’s why.”
