Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood Lived with & Was Cared for by Grandma Priscilla

Even as a young girl, Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood never bragged about her legendary lineage as the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and great-granddaughter of Elvis Presley.

Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood and her twin were a blessing to their mom, Lisa Marie Presley when she was 40. Their parents went through a nasty divorce that spanned half a decade.

The King's daughter devoted most of her social media to showing her close bond with her children, especially her twin daughters. Harper made her handprint next to her mother's at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood in mid-2022.

Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood's Birth Thrilled Her Grandma Priscilla Presley

On October 7, 2003, Lisa Marie and her fourth husband, Michael Lockwood, welcomed their first babies together, Harper and Finley. The singer already had two children, Riley Keough and Benjamin Keough.

A "very thrilled" Priscilla Presley was in the room when her youngest grandkids were born. The granny wrote a children's book, "Elvis Presley's Love Me Tender," inspired by The Kings' song of the same name and her granddaughters.

She said that Harper and Finley enjoyed Elvis' music, stressing that the family did not "push Elvis" tunes on the children. The author said the nine-year-olds knew all the words to their great-granddaddy's music and modern stars like Pink and Kelly Clarkson.

Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood Spent Some Wonderful Months under Her Grandma's Care

For a few months between 2016 and 2017, Harper and her sister were placed under protective custody with their grandmother following their mother's filing for a divorce. Lisa Marie's petition led to an ugly court battle over custody and spousal support.

The dad of two was still fighting for more child support when he tied the knot again.

Claims against Michael in the documents sparked a probe by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. Priscilla addressed rumors over social media in February 2017 that the girls had been placed in foster care with her.

Priscilla insisted that this would "never be" and that she was taking care of her young granddaughters until everything was sorted out. She told ET online a few months later:

"It's still a very family-oriented environment for them. […] They're great. They're doing wonderful. They're living a great life. They see both their parents, and we'll see what happens."

On May 26, 2021, a court ruled that Lisa Marie and Michael were single in May 2021. The former couple was awarded shared custody of their daughters. He had sought $40,000 per month in spousal support when she first filed for divorce, claiming that he made low income as a musician.

The dad of two was still fighting for more child support when he tied the knot again with make-up artist Stephanie Hobgood in October 2022.

Harper and her twin wore matching flowing blue and red velvet dresses at the ceremony, where they stood up for their dad as groom's women.

"S.O.B." singer Lisa Marie, who had previously been married to Danny Keough, with brief unions to Michael Jackson and Nicolas Cage, did not remarry.

The Late Lisa Marie Presley Doted on Her Children

On January 12, 2023, news broke that Lisa Marie Presley had died in the hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest earlier that day. Her father, Elvis, had died of a heart attack in 1977.

Lisa Marie was "ferociously protective" of her four children. Harper posed with her sisters, mom, and grandmother at the ELLE Women in Hollywood event in 2017, the first time they were all photographed together by excited press photographers.

Following her son's death by suicide in 2020, Lisa Marie wrote in a moving essay that she kept going for her girls. She and the twins fostered rescue puppies from a shelter early during the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020, an experience she called "exhausting but so rewarding."
