The Presley family has endured numerous problems in recent years. Following Lisa Marie Presley’s unexpected death on January 12, 2023, her loved ones faced not only sadness but also legal issues involving her estate. According to reports, there was conflict between Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla Presley, and her daughter, Riley Keough, over the estate.
However, 2023 also brought joy: Lisa Marie’s twin daughters, Harper and Finley Lockwood, graduated from middle school.After Lisa Marie died, Michael Lockwood, the twins’ father, was assigned as their legal guardian. Meanwhile, Riley was appointed as the sole trustee of Lisa Marie’s inheritance following court proceedings. Priscilla’s lawyer later verified, “Everyone is happy, unified, together, and excited for the future.”
Lisa Marie’s inheritance, held in trust for Riley, Harper, and Finley, retains full ownership of Graceland Mansion and its 13-acre grounds. It also includes Elvis Presley’s personal items, such as costumes, wardrobe, awards, furnishings, and automobiles.
Priscilla responded to claims of family disputes, saying, “My January 2023 petition was misconstrued in the press as a ‘fight’ over my beloved daughter’s trust.” That was not the intention… My daughter’s death was tragic and heartbreaking. We’ve discovered that the fans understand that we are ‘Just A Family.'” She went on: “Elvis would be proud, and his and Lisa’s wishes are what are most important to all of us.”
In any event, Finley and Harper’s graduation photo looks to indicate that any schisms within the Presley family are beginning to heal. A photo quickly surfaced on Instagram of the ladies with their respective blond and red hairstyles, with admirers quick to remark that they were joined by both Priscilla and Riley. Many were astonished by Finley and Harper’s mature appearance.Priscilla shared the photo on social media with the caption: “Happy Graduation, girls! “You are now in high school!!!”
Harper and Finley, born on October 7, 2008, are now 16 years old. Priscilla was present when the twins were delivered and later expressed her satisfaction to Entertainment Tonight, calling the encounter “a dream come true” and “a real delight.” “Entering into the room and seeing these two babies… it’s been pretty terrific,” she told me.
When Harper and Finley were eight years old, Lisa Marie filed for divorce from Michael Lockwood, sparking a contentious custody fight. The twins stayed with Priscilla at the time, despite some stories saying they were in “protective custody.” Insiders who talked with OK! Magazine described the twins as “very sensible, smart girls who mostly keep out of the spotlight.”
The source also stated that they got a lot of love from their families. “They often reminisce about their mother to keep her memory alive and make frequent visits to Graceland,” according to an insider. “Graceland is still the way Lisa Marie left it, which is comforting to the girls.”
