Priscilla Presley recently shared intimate details about her relationship with the late Elvis Presley, shedding light on their age gap and emotional connection. Speaking at a press conference in Venice for the film “Priscilla,” based on her 1985 memoir “Elvis and Me,” Priscilla revealed that she and Elvis did not engage in sexual activity when they first met.
The Hollywood Reporter quoted Priscilla as saying, “It’s a challenging experience to watch a film about your own life and love. However, Sofia [Coppola, the filmmaker] did an incredible job. She truly did her research, and I was open and honest with her about all aspects of my life.”
Priscilla, who played a significant role in transforming Graceland into a thriving tourist attraction, confessed that her parents found it difficult to understand Elvis’s interest in her. “It was hard for my parents to grasp why Elvis was so drawn to me,” she explained.
Despite the age difference, Priscilla emphasized that their relationship went beyond physical intimacy. “Elvis would confide in me, sharing his hopes, fears, and his grief over losing his mother. I was the one who would listen and comfort him,” she revealed. “That was the core of our connection. Even though I was only 14 at the time, I possessed a maturity beyond my years. That’s what attracted him to me. It wasn’t about sex, contrary to popular belief. He was gentle, loving, and respectful, fully aware of my young age. We connected on a deeper level, mentally and emotionally.”
Priscilla and Elvis exchanged vows in 1967 and welcomed their daughter, Lisa Marie, the following year. However, their union ended in divorce by 1973. Tragically, Elvis passed away in 1977, leaving behind a nine-year-old Lisa Marie, who went on to follow in his musical footsteps. Priscilla played a crucial role in establishing Elvis Presley Enterprises, leading to the immense success of Graceland as a renowned global tourist destination. The estate was entrusted to Lisa Marie, held in a trust until she reached the age of 25 in 1993.
It is evident that the bond between Priscilla and Elvis transcended physicality and was based on a deep emotional connection. Priscilla’s insights provide a unique perspective into their relationship, shedding light on the multifaceted aspects of their love story.
