Riley Keough was spotted in Calabasas, California on Thursday.
It was a day earlier that a Missouri woman was charged with attempted extortion of her late mother Lisa Marie Presley.
The 35-year-old Max Max: Fury Road actress sat somberly on a bench next to her husband Ben Smith-Petersen and their two-year-old daughter Tupelo.
Elvis Presley’s granddaughter sat barefoot on the bench, dressed in a simple white T-shirt and black biker shorts. She bit her lip.
The star kept a low profile in a green baseball cap pulled down over her face and designer sunglasses as her stuntman husband played with their adorable baby daughter.
The revelation came just hours before a 53-year-old woman was accused of orchestrating a massive scheme to extort Elvis’ family and steal his iconic Graceland home.

The suspect, Lisa Jeanine Findley, 53, was charged by prosecutors Friday with mail fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Authorities say Findley has a long history of scams and fraud and is known to use a number of aliases, including Lisa Holden.
She allegedly tied herself to the house using false identities, post office boxes and phone numbers, and was ambushed Friday morning by “at least 15 officers” who raided her Kimberling City home, according to a report. NBC News.
The plot reportedly first came onto investigators’ radar in May, after a company called Naussany Investments claimed in court that Lisa Marie Presley had millions of dollars in unpaid loans.
The claim sparked an outcry after Elvis’ only child, Lisa Marie, died in January 2023. The company subsequently urged Presley’s surviving family members to recoup the money.
Because Presley’s family refused to repay the loans, Naussany Investments attempted to force a foreclosure sale of Graceland, but the attempt was quickly blocked by the Tennessee courts.
Riley, Lisa Marie’s eldest daughter and heir, became the sole trustee of the Promenade Trust that protects Elvis’ estate assets after her mother’s death. She filed a countersuit alleging fraud.
In her lawsuit, she alleged that her late mother never took out a loan from Naussany Investments and that Lisa Marie’s signature was forged.

After a Tennessee judge ruled that Naussany Investments had indeed forged the signature, it emerged that a person behind the company claimed to be a Nigerian scam artist.
According to NBC News, Findley was linked to the Graceland conspiracy in June, but she denied any knowledge of the allegations.
Findley is due to appear in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri on Friday, accused of masterminding a scheme to sell Graceland and make millions.
It was reported that when investigating Naussany Investments, investigators found that there were no documents or evidence that the company ever existed.
Following the bizarre legal battle surrounding the alleged Nigerian scam, Findley was linked to the company through a Facebook profile with the same name as the company.
When NBC News claimed to have made the connection in June, they said a former acquaintance of Findley’s, Rasheed Jeremy Carballo, had told the news site that she had shared details about an alleged plot to steal Presley’s home.
In late July, Riley announced that she would be touring to promote Lisa Marie’s memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown.
Riley played a key role in completing the book after her mother’s death in January 2023, at the age of 54.
“Sometimes the most famous among us are the least known. Join @RileyKeough for a unique conversation as she pays tribute to the incredible memory of her mother Lisa Marie Presley with the release of their memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown,” publisher Random House said in a statement.
The company also announced that Riley will be joined by a special guest in six cities.

Riley tells the “legendary story of the American royal family, family ties, the highs and lows of fame, love, heartbreak and the unbreakable bond between mother and daughter,” Random House added.
The Daisy Jones and The Six star kicks off her book tour on October 9 in New York City, with stops in St. Louis, Nashville and London.
The Nashville event will take place at Graceland and the tour will conclude in Los Angeles on October 20.
In her memoir, Lisa Marie describes the difficult moments in her life, including the loss of her father, Elvis, in 1977, her move to Los Angeles with her mother, Priscilla Presley, and her battle with addiction.
