Riley Keough was spotted in Los Angeles for the first time after making headlines for deciding not to pay back her late mother Lisa-Marie Presley's $1.6 million loan.

Riley Keough was spotted in Los Angeles for the first time after making headlines for deciding not to pay back her late mother Lisa-Marie Presley’s $1.6 million loan.

The 34-year-old actress and granddaughter of Elvis Presley was seen running some errands with her husband Ben Smith-Petersen, whom she married in 2015.

Keough was seen wearing a gray hoodie and a black bag slung over her left shoulder.

She finished her look with light blue jeans cropped at the ankles and a pair of brown Uggs boots.

Her husband, whom she married in 2015, opted for a white T-shirt, black sunglasses, black pants and black shoes while carrying a drink and a purse.

Riley Keough was spotted in Los Angeles for the first time after making headlines for deciding not to pay back her late mother Lisa-Marie Presley’s $1.6 million loan.

Keough’s mother, the late Lisa-Marie Presley, only daughter of Elvis Presley, purchased Coes Hall, an estate in Rotherfield, UK, back in 2010.

She purchased the property with a loan from Barclay’s Bank, and now the financial institution allegedly claims Presley had an outstanding balance of $1.6 million with them for the estate, according to a legal filing filed by Keough. TMZ reports.

Barclay’s allegedly claims that Presley personally guaranteed the payment at the time he received the loan, and they are now reviewing his confidence in honoring the personal guarantee.

Keough, who was named sole administrator of her mother’s estate after her death last year, has now asked a judge to declare that the trust is not responsible for the payment in a new legal filing filed by her.

In the filing, he states that there are several reasons why the trust is not obligated to repay the loan, perhaps the most important of which is that the statute of limitations has expired.

The bank had until January 12, 2024, the first anniversary of Presley’s death, to file any type of claim, something they allegedly did not do.

Keough also alleges that his late mother only promised interest payments on the loan from 2010 to 2015. Therefore, the trust is not responsible for the outstanding principal, according to the filing.

The judge has not yet made a decision on the matter.

Keough’s mother, the late Lisa-Marie Presley, only daughter of Elvis Presley, purchased Coes Hall, an estate in Rotherfield, UK, in 2010.

Presley bought the 11-bedroom mansion with her then-husband Michael Lockwood in 2010 before eventually selling it in 2021 for £3.35 million.

Presley, daughter of rock legend Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley, died in January 2023 after suffering cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas, California.

It was later learned that he died from a “small intestine obstruction” caused by bariatric surgery he had undergone, according to the autopsy.

In August, Riley was named sole administrator of her mother’s estate and owner of Graceland following a legal battle with her grandmother Priscilla Presley. A judge approved the agreement in November.

The approval confirmed that Priscilla would receive a $1 million lump sum payment, funded by Lisa Marie’s life insurance policy, as part of the settlement, according to documents obtained by People.

Additionally, his son Navarone Garibaldi will also be a beneficiary of Lisa Marie’s trust. Perhaps most important of all, Priscilla will be buried near her ex Elvis at Graceland when she passes away.
