Priscilla Presley: Love, Memories, and Untold Truths About Elvis Presley
Priscilla Presley—the famous wife of the “King of Rock & Roll” Elvis Presley—shared an emotional and heartfelt conversation on The Jonathan Ross Show, revealing intimate and rarely known stories about her life with Elvis.
She recalled a humorous Halloween memory when the two of them dressed up as an elderly couple to go trick-or-treating at Elvis’s father’s house. With wigs, glasses, and walking canes, the couple played a prank that completely fooled his father. It was a light-hearted moment that showed a more playful, down-to-earth side of their lives—far removed from the glitz of fame.
Priscilla also shared some lesser-known quirks of Elvis. For instance, he disliked using other people’s utensils and cups. Even at restaurants or other people’s homes, Elvis would drink from the part of the cup with the handle—knowing no one else would have touched that area. He often brought his own silverware with him as well.
The conversation turned more personal as Priscilla spoke about the time after their divorce. Although their marriage lasted six years, their bond continued due to mutual respect and deep affection. She admitted it was difficult at first being constantly associated with Elvis—such a towering figure in music history—that she began to lose sight of her own identity. Over time, however, she learned to balance his legacy with her own individuality.
Priscilla revealed that she and Elvis spoke just days before he passed away. Though he insisted he was fine and excited for his upcoming tour, she sensed a quiet sadness in him. “He felt lost, isolated, and burdened by many issues,” she shared, visibly emotional.
The show also highlighted a special album titled If I Can Dream, which features Elvis’s original vocals accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Priscilla, who helped curate the project, believed it was exactly the kind of musical production Elvis would have embraced.
She also brought along a priceless piece of memorabilia—a jeweled belt gifted to Elvis by the International Hotel in Las Vegas to honor his record-breaking performances in 1969. It’s now one of the most requested items on display.
With grace, intelligence, and authenticity, Priscilla Presley offered the audience a deeper glimpse into the life of Elvis Presley—not just as a music icon, but as a human being with joys, habits, and pain like anyone else.
