Priscilla Presley has confirmed her desire to be buried next to her late ex-husband, Elvis Presley, on his Graceland estate in Memphis. The announcement came ahead of the airing of her interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored. This revelation coincides with the official approval by a judge of Priscilla's settlement with her granddaughter, Riley Keough, over her late daughter Lisa-Marie's will.

As part of the settlement, Priscilla will be laid to rest in Graceland, as close to Elvis' plot as possible. Piers Morgan addressed the dispute during their interview, questioning Priscilla about the disagreement with Riley.

The heart of the issue revolved around Lisa-Marie changing her will without informing Priscilla. The change appointed her children as trustees, a decision Priscilla only discovered after her daughter's untimely death. Priscilla expressed her confidence in Riley's ability to handle matters, mentioning that Riley asked for guidance on what to do with Graceland.

Piers delved further into the topic, touching upon the potential issue of Priscilla being buried at Graceland alongside Elvis. Priscilla firmly stated her desire to be buried there, emphasizing that it is what she has always wanted. Confirming her response, she affirmed that she will indeed be laid to rest next to her ex-husband.

This development follows the official approval of the settlement between Priscilla and Riley, which occurred ten months after Lisa-Marie's passing. The agreement designates Priscilla as the sole trustee of her late daughter's estate and grants her ownership of Graceland, the iconic Memphis mansion.

According to court documents obtained by People magazine, Priscilla will receive a $1 million lump-sum payment funded by Lisa-Marie's life insurance policy. In addition, Priscilla's son, Navarone Garibaldi, will also benefit from Lisa-Marie's trust. Most notably, the agreement guarantees that Priscilla will be buried near Elvis at Graceland upon her passing.

Further details revealed that Priscilla will also receive an annual payment of $100,000 for her role as a special advisor regarding the promenade trust and its shareholder interest in Elvis Presley Enterprises. This payment will continue for ten years or until Priscilla's death, regardless of whether Riley terminates her advisory role.

The settlement marks the resolution of the dispute between Priscilla and Riley, who became the sole trustee of the family estate after a legal battle. The appointment was approved by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge, ending the ongoing disagreements between the two since Lisa-Marie's death.

The Presley family has faced numerous challenges and tragedies over the years, and the legacy of Elvis continues to be honored. Priscilla's wish to be buried next to the iconic musician reflects the enduring bond between them. Tonight, viewers can catch the full interview with Priscilla on Piers Morgan Uncensored at 8 pm UK time on TalkTV and YouTube.
