The mom-of-one noted that whenever they hold the annual candlelight vigil in honor of Elvis at Graceland, the twins are in awe of the number of people that turn up, and the love they show to their grandfather.

Harper and Finley are the children of Priscilla's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley. The latter had them with her ex-husband, Michael Lockwood. Before the twins, the only child of the rock and roll king, had two children from her first marriage to the musician, Danny Keough.

Lisa's first daughter, Riley Keough, followed her grandfather's footsteps into show business, but rather than singing, she is an actress and a model.

She has appeared on the big and small screens, and some of her notable works include roles in "Mad Max: Fury Road," in 2015, and "The Good Doctor."

Riley's brother, Benjamin Keough, mostly stays out of the spotlight. But the 27-year-old appeared in the documentary, "Elvis By the Presleys'," and the TV show, "Rod and Barry."

The young man looks a lot like his grandfather, and Priscilla said in her interview,

"I see a lot of [Elvis] in Benjamin, but you know, Ben is very much his own person."

The late rock and roll singer's wife added that she and Lisa do not comment on the resemblance because Benjamin wants to discover himself away from his grandfather's legacy.

Priscilla is proud of her grandchildren, and even takes the twins on tour with her, when possible.
