As reported by Daily Mail in 2018, shortly before the release of an HBO documentary about Elvis' life and death, Priscilla discussed the depths of addiction of her late ex-husband. According to her, the legendary singer "knew what he was doing."
Priscilla revealed that many people close to Elvis had tried to wean him off drugs, but that his addiction ran far too deep for any of them to reach him in time.
Priscilla remained the main beneficiary at his death and has since turned Graceland into one of the most famous tourist attractions in the United States.
