Riley Keough, 35, made her second stop on her book tour to promote her late mother Lisa Marie Presley’s posthumous memoir, From Here To The Great Unknown.
Keough spent part of his day with grandmother Priscilla Presley, dismissing any notion that any hard feelings lingered after their dispute over the trust and will of the late Lisa Marie Presley.
Before the event, Keough and his Presley were photographed in different areas of the Graceland property, including outside where the two were sitting in a golf cart, which is significant because Lisa Marie had a habit of crashing those carts.

She also kept her long dark locks away from her face with a hair band, which fell past her shoulders.
There was one session where Keogh sat with his grandmother to talk and another with just Richie, who also answered any questions from any of the ladies.

While the grandmother and granddaughter seemed happy while touring the Graceland property, a little over a year ago things became quite tense between them over Lisa Marie’s trust and will.
In September, Keough opened up about the “chaos” that followed her mother’s passing, explaining that her relationship with her grandmother was now returning to “how it was” before the trust dispute.
In January 2023, Priscilla filed a petition challenging a 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie’s will that would remove Priscilla and Barry Siegel as co-trustees of Lisa Marie’s Promenade Trust, and named Riley and her late brother Benjamin as the new co-trustees, according to People.
With each stop featuring a special guest, Nicole Richie served as the event’s moderator.

“Everyone was a little scared to understand how we move forward, and it only took a minute to understand the details of the situation, because it’s complicated,” The Runaways actress explained. ‘We are a family, but there is also a big business part in our family. So I think it was necessary to have clarity.”
