Priscilla Presley Poses With All Three Granddaughters In Twins’ Graduation Photo

At 78 years old, Priscilla Presley is a proud grandmother to granddaughter Riley Keough and twins Harper and Finley Lockwood. As part of the late Elvis Presley’s family, the group recently concluded extended courtroom drama surrounding Priscilla’s daughter and Riley’s mother Lisa Marie. However, for this particular photo, everything was entirely celebratory as the twins reached the major milestone of graduation.

Lisa Marie was the only child of Elvis and Priscilla Presley and went on to have children Riley and Benjamin Keough, the latter of whom predeceased her in 2020, and the twins in 2008. That means this month, they are ready to set forth to high school.

Late last week, Priscilla celebrated the twins graduating middle school. She shared a family photo featuring herself, Harper, Finley, and Riley. They are seen standing in a line outside, dressed for a sunny early summer day.

“Happy Graduation girls!” Priscilla celebrated in the post’s caption. “You’re now in high school!!!” Harper and Finley turned 14 last October 7 and are Lisa Marie’s children with guitarist and producer Michael Lockwood, to whom Lisa Marie was married from 2006 to 2021.

Bittersweet tidings before a bittersweet celebration

There is a great absence hanging over Harper and Finley’s graduation, though Priscilla and Riley were both there for support. It was just six months ago that their mother died suddenly from cardiac arrest at the age of just 54.

On top of that, the family just concluded a legal debate surrounding Lisa Marie’s will. Priscilla had contested an amendment that made Riley the sole trustee of her estate. But, Priscilla emphasized, this was not a family-breaking brawl, as had sometimes been reported online.

“My January 2023 petition was misconstrued in the press as a ‘fight’ over my beloved daughter’s trust,” she said in a June 13 filing. “That was not the intent… My daughter’s passing was both devastating and heartbreaking. We have learned that the fans realize that we are ‘Just A Family.'”

The twins’ mental and emotional health also dominates the family’s concerns. Their father, Lockwood, has reportedly been keeping a careful eye on them. Reports shared by New York Post claim that the girls are “too traumatized” to return to their Los Angeles home. Prior to her death, Lisa Marie had lost 40 to 50 pounds and took opioids.

“Michael had been hoping for a speedy and complete recovery because her children needed her,” said Lockwood’s lawyer, Joe Yanny, “It is very sad it didn’t turn out that way.”
