Priscilla Presley is reportedly no longer speaking to her granddaughter Riley Keough.
The pair are suggested to be wrapped up in a feud over the late Lisa Marie Presley’s will, according to sources close to the family.
Priscilla, 77, and 33-year-old Keough are currently head to head in a complex legal battle, which is being dealt with by the two family members’ lawyers.
It comes after the tragic death of Elvis Presley’s only child Lisa Marie on 13th January, who died at the age of 54 after a suspected cardiac arrest.

Lisa Marie made the change to her will back in 2016, and removed Priscilla from the will entirely.
It is not currently clear what fortune Lisa Marie left in her children’s name - but several reports suggest that the troubled singer-songwriter spent the $100 million she inherited after her father’s death in 1977 - which was said to incite anger in her mother Priscilla, who has attempted to challenge the 2016 amendment to her will.
On Thursday, a source close to the family revealed that Lisa Marie - who recently encouraged her fans to ‘ignore the noise’ - is no longer on talking terms with her granddaughter amid the ongoing legal drama.

“Priscilla is adamant that she has a valid case and that she will prevail in court.
“Riley and Priscilla aren't communicating at this time, but have been in communication through lawyers."
The source also claimed that Riley would have wanted to settle the matter in private, but that both parties are now "gearing up" to say their piece in court.
The Mirror has contacted Priscilla and Riley's representatives for comment as well as the estate of Lisa-Marie.
