Priscilla Presley attends the twin grandchildren’s graduation, but Riley Keough is NOT attending
Priscilla Presley was the picture of a proud grandmother as she attended her twin granddaughters’ graduation — but there was a notable absence from the celebrations.
Elvis’s widow, 77, was photographed Friday at Harper and Finley Lockwood’s ceremony in Los Angeles. The occasion was also attended by the girls’ father, Michael Lockwood.
However, the daughter of the late Lisa Marie Presley, Riley Keough, stayed away from graduation.
Keough, 33, is embroiled in a bitter family feud with Priscilla over the multimillion-dollar estate of the late Lisa Marie. Lawyers for Elvis and Riley’s widow announced in a Los Angeles court on Tuesday that the two “have reached a settlement.”
At the graduation ceremony on Friday, Priscilla proudly watched the ceremony, but she remained separated from the rest of her family and left alone.

The family has been dealing with the death of Lisa Marie Presley, who passed away suddenly in January at the age of 54 after going into cardiac arrest at her home in Calabasas.
Riley is hoping for no more bad blood with her grandmother Priscilla after their rancorous legal battle came to an end, it is said.
“Riley is relieved to have settled the dispute over her mother’s estate. She doesn’t want drama with her grandmother,” said an insider People.
When the legal battle broke out between Riley and Priscilla, the former hoped they could settle quickly,” the source added.
At Lisa Marie’s memorial service, Riley and her husband Ben Smith-Petersen announced the arrival of their new baby girl.
The source shared that the outbreak of tension between grandma and granddaughter has been “very hard for” Riley.

“She now wants to focus on making memories with her own daughter,” the insider revealed. “This is her priority.”
“Priscilla is happy,” her attorney Ronson Shamoun told DailyMail.com when the settlement was reached. “The families are happy and united and together and excited for the future.”
When asked if Riley was also happy with the settlement, her attorney Justin Gold told DailyMail.com, “She wouldn’t have agreed to the settlement if she wasn’t happy with it.”
Just two weeks after Lisa Marie’s death in January, her mother Priscilla filed a legal challenge against her daughter’s will – transferring control of Lisa Marie’s wealthy Promenade Trust to her daughter Riley.
Riley, who was reportedly furious when her grandmother went to court to protest the will, has not objected to Priscilla’s challenge.

Riley always supported her mother through her lengthy, often vexing divorce and custody disputes with her fourth husband, musician Michael Lockwood, 61, father of Lisa Marie’s twin, 14-year-old daughters, Finley and Harper.
It has been reported that Priscilla and Lisa Marie “barely spoke” just before the latter’s death after Priscilla sided with Lockwood over custody of the twins.
Multiple sources told People that the mother and daughter couldn’t speak to each other despite appearing at multiple events together, including the premiere of the Elvis biopic starring Austin Butler.
“Riley was always on her mother’s side when it came to Michael (Lockwood),” a source told the magazine. “It bothered her that her grandmother and Michael flew to (Lisa Marie’s) funeral together.”
