Priscilla Presley has been ‘locked out’ of Graceland by her granddaughter Riley Keough after she contested the will of Lisa Marie, according to sources.
They claim that the ex-wife of Elvis is banned from the estate temporarily after Keough, 33, ‘changed the locks on the upstairs doors and archives’ on a trip to Memphis.
A source told RadarOnline that Angie Marchese, Priscilla and Lisa Marie previously had the only keys, with Priscilla now finding herself locked out of the estate.
Neither Keough nor Priscilla, 77, have commented publicly amid their ongoing battle over Lisa Marie’s $35million will.
Priscilla filed a petition questioning the ‘authenticity and validity’ of a 2016 amendment made by her daughter where she named Keough and her son Benjamin as the executors of her will.

Benjamin died by suicide in 2020, meaning that Keough is now the sole executor of the will – something which Priscilla has contested.
Lisa Marie’s will includes the Graceland mansion and a 15 per cent stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises, and the amendment also removed her former business manager Barry Seigel as co-trustee.
DailyMail.com reached out to Priscilla, Keough and Graceland for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
After Lisa Marie’s funeral, which saw Elvis’ only daughter buried next to her son on the estate, Priscilla sparked a legal battle with her granddaughter just four days later.
Priscilla challenged the declaration’s legitimacy, claiming Lisa Marie’s scrawl on the doc ‘appears inconsistent with her daughter’s usual and customary signature’.
She also noted that Lisa Marie’s name is misspelled, while the doc was never notarized or delivered to her as required.
Lisa Marie’s living trust – which can serve as a will after death – seemingly cut her mother out of any claim to Elvis’ estate entirely.
A source also told the Daily Mirror that the grandmother and granddaughter ‘do not see eye to eye’ and have clashed after Lisa Marie’s death at the age of 54.

The family reportedly were put under more pressure after Priscilla allowed Michael Lockwood, 61, to attend the memorial to help look after the 14-year-old twins he shares with Lisa Marie.
Lockwood and Lisa Marie had one of the most toxic breakups in Hollywood, with the pair publicly battling for custody over Finley and Harper for years.
A friend of Lisa Marie’s told People magazine in the US: ‘Michael was not invited. He came to Memphis under the pretence he had to chaperone the twins.
‘The last thing Lisa Marie would have wanted was for Michael to be there.’
Another added that Priscillas loyalty to Lockwood was a reason that she and her daughter Lisa Marie stopped speaking.

She seemed close to her mother in the weeks before her death of a cardiac arrest on January 123, attending events with Priscilla to celebrate the biopic of Elvis

But another source told the Mirror that their relationship had been fractured since Lisa Marie’s split from Michael in 2016.
They added: ‘I can assure you, in the last seven years of Lisa’s life, she never discussed with Priscilla any business. She wanted each of her four children to have 5% of the estate.
‘Priscilla doesn’t want Riley solely in charge because then she has no say. It’s a very sad situation.’
