Fans Think Priscilla Presley’s Granddaughter Looks Just Like Her – And It’s Not Hard To See Why
As the wife of the King of Rock and Roll, Priscilla Presley was once one of the planet’s most recognizable women – helped by the fact that she was absolutely gorgeous, of course. And it appears as though she’s passed down her famous good looks to her granddaughter, Riley, too! When you look closely, in fact, you’ll notice that the pair look eerily alike.
Priscilla’s doppelgänger granddaughter is the child of Lisa Marie Presley, who came along nine years after her rock and roll parents first met at an American military base in Germany back in 1959. Priscilla was just 14 at the time and had been stationed there with her mother and stepfather – an Air Force officer himself. Elvis, on the other hand, was ten years her senior and was already a major star.
That’s right: just three years earlier Elvis had scored his first chart-topping single and album, and he’d starred in the box-office smash Love Me Tender. But you may well be wondering, then, how on earth he ended up in Germany, locking eyes with the love of his life and future mother of his children. Well, after a draft notice, the hip-swinging star joined the U.S. Army and spent approximately 18 months serving over in the European country.
Priscilla’s parents probably never expected that she’d fall for one of the soldiers – let alone one of the biggest music stars in America. Unsurprisingly, they weren’t exactly on board with the idea. She told the magazine Closer in 2017, “My father said, ‘Absolutely not!’ My mother said, ‘I won’t let you walk across the street to see Elvis Presley!’ I knew this was going to be a battle.”
Despite the disapproval of her parents, though, Priscilla continued to see the “Heartbreak Hotel” singer. And in 1962 she moved into Elvis’ famous estate of Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. Just five years later Priscilla became Mrs. Presley when the pair walked down the aisle in Las Vegas. Pretty soon there was also the pitter patter of tiny feet.
