In 1973 Elvis Presley and the native of Priscilla Beaulieu were already drawing a line under their turbulent relationship. But the American, who turns 80 on Saturday, May 24, continues to capitalize on the cult around the singer, who died in 1977. It was only in March, during a visit to Bad Nauheim – the place where her romance began – she shared memories of the “King”. In talk shows, she talks about Elvis as a husband, but also about the challenge of being married to the music legend. And again and again she asserts her affection. “I loved him very much.”

Priscilla lived in Germany at the end of the 1950s because her stepfather in Wiesbaden was stationed as an officer. Elvis also performed military service there. The two met in 1959 when Priscilla was only 14. The two approached Priscilla’s parents after initial resistance. Finally, the teenager was allowed to move to Elvis alone to Memphis and make his high school qualification there. Priscilla first had to end the school before getting married the “Love Me Tender” star on May 1, 1967. Her child Lisa Marie Presley was born nine months later. The divorce followed in 1973. Neither of them received another marriage. From a relationship with film producer Marco Garibaldi, she still has the son Navarone, born in 1987.
