00:00 Don't talk anymore about it.

00:02 Priscilla Presley is opening up about her most devastating personal losses.

00:10 The businesswoman got emotional in a new talk TV interview with Piers Morgan that aired on November 2nd,

00:17 getting overcome when reflecting on the unexpected deaths of not only her daughter, Lisa Marie Presley,

00:23 but also her grandson, Benjamin Keough.

00:26 It is—it was unbearable, you know.

00:28 I lost my mother, I lost my grandson, and I lost my daughter.

00:33 And losing Ben was—was—was—that was the hardest thing for her.

00:41 Lisa Marie died in January at just 54 years old, and Priscilla reflected on the tragedy,

00:47 sharing how the singer had complained of abdominal pain just two days earlier

00:51 on what ended up being their last night together after that year's Golden Globe Awards.

00:56 The 78-year-old went on to explain how Lisa Marie struggled with the aftermath of Ben's passing in 2020.

01:03 The 27-year-old sadly took his own life, and Priscilla said she believed the grief may have been too much for Lisa Marie.

01:10 He was the love of her life. That child, she adored him. She would do anything for him. Anything.

01:21 And we were in Memphis, we were sitting up in the suite, and she said, "Mom, you know, I don't know.

01:29 I don't know. I don't know if I want to be here." And I go, "What are you talking about?"

01:33 You know, "Like Ben." And she'd go on about Ben and how she is still grieving.

01:41 And this was a couple of months before.

01:44 She was feeling almost suicidal herself.

01:47 I think so.

01:48 It's so sad.

01:50 I know. Don't talk anymore about it.

01:53 Lisa Marie's cause of death was later confirmed to be complications from a small bowel obstruction.

02:03 She had passed away shortly after being rushed to the hospital.

02:06 Handling the artist's estate caused reported tension between Priscilla and her granddaughter Riley Keough,

02:12 who Lisa Marie had previously named the sole trustee, which was unbeknownst to Priscilla until after Lisa Marie died.

02:19 The pair reached a settlement in May, and Priscilla said that her and Riley's relationship remained on solid ground

02:25 throughout the challenging process, telling Talk TV, "I love her. We have always gotten along.

02:30 It was a little bit of trying to figure out the will like you normally do, but Riley and I have always been close."
