On the second anniversary of Lisa Marie Presley’s passing, Priscilla Presley shared an emotional tribute on Instagram, marking another painful milestone in her life. Lisa Marie, who was the only child of Elvis Presley, died suddenly in January 2023 at the age of 54, leaving behind four children and a complicated legacy.
Priscilla could still be grappling with the immense loss as she poured out her grief in a heartfelt message and a touching photo of Lisa Marie, accompanied by an instrumental version of Elvis’ 1972 classic, “Always On My Mind.”

Beyond mourning her daughter, Priscilla has been dealing with another devastating reality — she says she was financially exploited by people she once trusted. The actress and former wife of Elvis is suing former business associates for $1 million, alleging they manipulated her into signing agreements that drained her finances.
In 2022, Priscilla entered into a partnership with Brigitte Kruse, a businesswoman involved in selling Elvis memorabilia. However, Priscilla now claims that Kruse and others mismanaged her affairs and deceived her into giving up a significant portion of her income. According to legal filings, they allegedly took advantage of her trust, convincing her to sign deals that left her with little financial control.
Were Priscilla Presley and Lisa Marie close?
Lisa Marie and Priscilla had a complicated relationship, marked by periods of distance and tension. One of their most difficult challenges was Lisa Marie’s belief that Priscilla tried to exert too much control over her life. This, combined with Lisa Marie’s struggles with substance use as a teenager, often led to clashes between the two.
Their bond was further tested by a legal dispute over Lisa Marie’s estate, which intensified family tensions. However, in later years, their relationship seemed to improve. Lisa Marie’s marriage to musician Michael Lockwood also played a role in easing tensions between her and Priscilla.
