Priscilla was 14 years old when she met 24 year-old Elvis for the first time. The couple met in 1959 while serving in the United States military in Western Germany. That was when Priscilla and her family lived there. The couple met at a party and heard each other loud and clear. Priscilla was in ninth grade at that time. Priscilla's parents were somewhat reluctant to let their daughter become involved with him, only because of Elvis' age and his rock star status.

The couple managed to meet frequently when they were in West Germany. However, he was released from the military in 1960 and returned to the United States. When Elvis first met Priscilla, he was already having an affair with a girl called Anita Wood.

Once Elvis returned to the US, he began dating Anita in 1957 and continued their relationship. When Wood started to hear the rumors about Elvis' fling, she broke up with him in 1962, and Elvis kept dating Priscilla.

After Lisa was born, there was a breakdown in their love life. Elvis allegedly deceived her several times during their relationship, and Priscilla had her own affairs. She was particularly involved with her karate teacher, Mike Stone. Though Elvis himself was unfaithful, he was not happy to hear about his wife's affair and would have recruited a hired killer to kill Stone. Eventually, after six years of marriage, the couple divorced in 1973. Four years later, in 1977, Elvis died of cardiac arrest.

Priscilla delivered their only child, Lisa Marie, exactly nine months after they were married, in 1968. Following the couple's divorce in October 1973, Lisa moved in with her mother, after spending some time at Graceland.

She was the only heiress and inherited her Graceland house when she was 25 years old in 1993. Prior to Lisa's inheritance, her mother and executors had raised her estate to approximately £76.9 million. However, she sold 85% of it by 2004. Lisa Marie Presley is now 54 years old and was married to Michael Jackson once.
