Riley Keough has locked out her grandmother Priscilla Presley from accessing certain areas of the Graceland estate.
Although it is not clear why she took action, this came after Priscilla filed a petition to question the validity and legality of the will left by her daughter Lisa Marie Presley.
Lisa Marie’s will, reportedly worth $35 million, names her son Riley and her late son Benjamin as the sole executors of the singer’s estate.
Amidst the drama, Lisa Marie’s ex, Michael Lockwood, has asked the court to allow him to represent their daughter in any hearing regarding the will.

According to reports from Online Radar, Priscilla was deemed persona non grata at the Graceland estate. A source told the publication that his grandson Riley Keough “changed the locks on the doors and archives upstairs” on the way to Memphis, preventing the 77-year-old from accessing areas he previously had keys to.
Although neither has commented on the matter, it is assumed that their ongoing feud may have played a role.
The couple have been at loggerheads since Elvis’ ex-wife contested their daughter Lisa Marie’s will, which named Riley and her late brother Benjamin Keough as co-trustees of the singer’s estate, which is reportedly worth $35 million.
Due to Benjamin’s suicide in 2020, Riley took on the role of sole executor of the will, pending the outcome of the court case.

Shortly after Lisa Marie’s death in January, Priscilla filed suit to question the “authenticity and validity” of a 2016 amendment made to the will, which removed her as one of the trustees of her estate.
In the filing, Priscilla claims that Lisa Marie’s signature on the document appears to be “inconsistent. “He further asserted that Lisa Marie’s name was misspelled on the paper and it was never sent to him as requested or notarized.
Amid the drama, Lisa Marie’s ex Lockwood has asked the court to appoint him “guardian ad litem” over his 14-year-old daughters Harper and Finley, who he shares with the late singer, per Page Six.
The 61-year-old guitarist and the “Where No One Stands” singer were married for a decade before they split in 2016.
If Lockwood’s motion is approved, he will have the authority to represent his daughters in subsequent hearings about his wife’s faith and throughout the duration of the legal case.

Other sources tell many people, “Lisa really doesn’t feel that Priscilla is doing anything in her best interest and won’t stand by when she’s taken advantage of.”
A third claimed that Lisa Marie’s decision to hand over her fortune to Riley was exactly what Elvis Presley wanted.
“We just want to think about what Lisa wants, and what’s best for Elvis. He never had a doubt in his mind that it was Riley,” the insider claims Entertainment Tonight.

Since Priscilla’s petition, she and her granddaughter have only communicated through their lawyers. The insider shared that the ordeal has left Riley “heartbroken” and that she would “prefer to resolve this dispute privately” rather than have a protracted court case.
“He is heartbroken that this has turned into a public matter and knows his mother would not want this,” the source said, according to the publication.
Riley is reportedly feeling “very stressed” by her feud with Priscilla, but she has been trying to “keep a positive attitude” in the hope that the provisions of the will will not be revoked.
In the meantime, the cause of Lisa Marie’s death has yet to be ascertained. She was buried at the Graceland mansion in Memphis, TN, next to her beloved son, Benjamin.
