However, she defended the Jailhouse Rock singer, denying that the couple had sex and insisting she was ‘older in life than in years’.
She said: ‘Elvis would pour his heart out to me. His hopes, his fears, his loss of his mother. And I was the person who really sat there to listen and to comfort him. That was really our connection.
‘Even though I was 14, I was older in life than in years. And that was the attraction. People think “oh, it was sex, it was this.” Not at all. I never had sex with him.
‘He was very kind, very soft, very loving. But he also respected the fact I was only 14 years old. We were more in mind and thought and that was our relationship.’
Priscilla has previously claimed that Elvis insisted on waiting until they were married to have sex and said in Elvis And Me that she was a virgin until their wedding night.
Lisa Marie died on January 12 2023 aged 54 from the small bowel obstruction caused by previous weight-loss surgery – with opioids found in her blood at the time of her death.

She said: ‘I did know there was something not right’ about the days preceding Lisa Marie’s death, recalling how the pair went to Chateau Marmont to celebrate Austin Butler’s win for his role as the music icon in movie Elvis.

Priscilla said: ‘We had just gotten there, you go down all these stairs. I tripped a little bit because I had these high heels on, and she started laughing so hard. I started laughing. We hadn’t even had a drink yet.
‘She goes, “Oh my God, Mom, you can’t even have a drink.” … It was fun, a fun memory. Then we sat down and ordered drinks, and she says, “Mom, my stomach hurts really bad.” We immediately got up and left.”
Two days later Lisa Marie’s ex-husband Danny Keough called Priscilla to inform her the star had collapsed at home and was in the hospital – with Priscilla saying: ‘I got right in the car, but she was already gone. I still can’t believe it. I don’t wish this on any mother.’
