Priscilla had the opportunity to see a newly unveiled statue of Elvis in Bad Nauheim. Standing in front of the tribute, she expressed how emotional it was to return to the place where their love story began to the local reporters.
Priscilla moved to Germany as a young girl when her stepfather, an Air Force officer, was stationed there. She recalled how friends in Texas teased her about being in the same country as Elvis, never imagining she would actually meet him. Though Elvis left Germany six months after their first meeting, they stayed in touch, eventually leading to their marriage in 1967.
A love story that lives on
Priscilla’s trip to Germany highlights how Elvis’s legacy continues to be honored worldwide. From fan tributes to historic sites, their love is one of music history’s greatest love stories. She expressed appreciation for the warm welcome she received and the way that Germany still honors Elvis’ memory.
Even after the decades that have passed, Priscilla’s hold on the early years remains. Her visit was not just about nostalgia but also about keeping alive the memory of what she had with Elvis for generations to come.
