Priscilla Presley and Riley Keough pose in a new photo together after settling their legal dispute for control of Lisa Marie Presley's trust
  • Priscilla Presley shared a rare photo of herself with granddaughter Riley Keough on Friday.
  • It comes a month after the two reached an agreement over the control of Lisa Marie Presley's trust.

Priscilla Presley shared a photo of herself with her eldest granddaughter Riley Keough after settling a legal dispute for control of Lisa Marie Presley's trust.

Keough and Presley came together for the middle-school graduation of Lisa Marie's 14-year-old daughters, Harper and Finley Lockwood.

"Happy Graduation girls! You're now in high school!!!" the former "Dallas" star captioned the photo which showed all four smiling together in a sun-dappled garden.

The post comes just a month after legal counsel for the 77-year-old widow of rock 'n' roll singer Elvis Presley and their eldest grandchild reached a court settlement over Elvis Presley's estate, following the death of his only daughter, Lisa Marie, in January of 2023 at the age of 54.

Before her death, Lisa Marie inherited the legendary singer's whole estate on her 25th birthday in 1993.

After her death, it was discovered that in 2016 she had made an amendment to her will which removed her mother and her former business manager, Barry Siegel, as co-trustees. In their place, Lisa Marie elected her oldest children Benjamin Keough, who died by suicide in 2020 at the age of 27, and Riley as new co-trustees.

Lawyers for Presley disputed the amendment and questioned its legitimacy after noticing that Lisa Marie had misspelled her mother's name and had signed the document with a signature that was "inconsistent with her usual and customary" style.

However, on May 16, the two sides reached a settlement, according to The Los Angeles Times. The settlement, for which terms were not disclosed, is subject to court approval, which is scheduled for August 4.

In a statement to People, Presley said: "I want to make clear that there was never any lawsuit filed against my beloved granddaughter."

"As a family, we are pleased that we resolved this together," she continued. "My family and I hope that everyone will grant us the privacy we have needed to properly grieve Lisa Marie and spend personal time together. We love and appreciate all of you and the Presley family is stronger than ever."
