From Germany to Graceland: Priscilla Presley Reflects on Her Early Days with Elvis

In a candid interview with Closer Weekly, Priscilla opened up about her first encounter with the legendary Elvis Presley back in 1959. At just 14 years old, Priscilla was living in Wiesbaden, Germany, where her father, Paul, served as an Air Force officer. It was there that fate brought her paths to cross with Elvis, who was stationed nearby as an Army sergeant. Priscilla fondly recalled the moment, emphasizing how her father initially resisted the idea of her dating Elvis. “My father said, ‘Absolutely not!’ and my mother added, ‘I won’t let you walk across the street to see Elvis Presley!’ I knew this was going to be a battle,” she shared. Despite the initial resistance, Elvis’s charm eventually won over Paul. “He came absolutely decked out in white gloves, hat, everything! Already he won my father over! They talked for an hour and a half,” Priscilla revealed, painting a vivid picture of young love and family dynamics.
