In "Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis," the 80-year-old reveals that she once directly asked Lisa Marie about the nature of her relationship with the pop superstar.
"I asked her if they had a physical relationship," Priscilla wrote, according to an excerpt published by The Sun on Saturday. "Like so many people, I wasn't sure." Lisa Marie, she recalled, confirmed that they did.

The union between Elvis Presley's only child and the King of Pop lasted from 1994 until 1996. Priscilla admits she was never supportive of the match. "I was appalled by the marriage," she recalled. "I knew in my bones that Michael wasn't marrying Lisa Marie; he was marrying the Presley dynasty."
She went on to allege that Jackson, who at the time was facing child molestation accusations that he strongly denied, viewed the relationship as an opportunity for good publicity. Lisa Marie, according to her mother, believed in his innocence.

"Michael was a manipulative man, and I think he had his sights set on her long before she realized it," Priscilla wrote. "The childlike innocence he projected was part of his public mask."
Priscilla also claimed that Jackson made efforts to avoid interacting with her personally and that his behavior at family gatherings struck her as unusual. She notes that he preferred to spend time with children rather than adults and described the relationship as "bizarre."

Although Priscilla says her daughter told her Jackson wanted to have children, she urged Lisa Marie not to rush into starting a family. When Lisa Marie ultimately filed for divorce in 1996, Priscilla recalls feeling as though Elvis himself would have been relieved. "I could practically hear Elvis sigh with relief," she wrote.
