Priscilla Presley denies 'feud' with Riley Keough over Lisa Marie Presley's trust days before first court hearing
Priscilla Presley and granddaughter Riley Keough have apparently checked out of Heartbreak Hotel.
Days before the duo are set to face off in court over control of Lisa Marie Presley's trust, Priscilla, 77, reportedly told an audience during a UK stop on her tour that Riley, 33, is "great" and the two of them are not fighting over money.
According to the Mirror, Priscilla said during her Evening with Priscilla Presley event at the Tyne Theatre and Opera House in Newcastle upon Tyne that reports of a feud between Riley, Priscilla, and Lisa Marie's other daughters, 14-year-old twins Finley and Harper Lockwood, had come from "out of Memphis" but are "not true".

He added: "We did go to dinner, it went great, it's all good."
