Memories of Love: Priscilla Presley's Reflections on Life with Elvis
Priscilla Presley shared insights into her early romance with Elvis Presley during the 2026 Old Bags Luncheon at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Fla. She reminisced about spending every night together with The King, watching movies at Graceland. They would have dinner around 10 p.m. and sometimes watch multiple movies throughout the night. Despite her late nights, Priscilla still had to attend school, often arriving late due to their movie marathons.
Navigating her relationship with Elvis was challenging, as she didn't have anyone to confide in. To cope with the situation, Priscilla found solace in Elvis' grandmother, who shared stories about their family history. Despite her struggles, she didn't want to burden Elvis with her issues, as he was busy with his career. Priscilla's memoir, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, released in 2025, sheds light on her life with the legendary singer.
Reflecting on what Elvis would be doing if he were still alive, Priscilla believes he would continue singing and touring, as he loved performing. She spent over 11 months writing her memoir, recalling both the wonderful and challenging moments of her life with Elvis. The book allowed her to revisit her past and cherish the memories they shared together.
