Riley Keough and husband Ben Smith-Petersen spotted shopping in LA amid alleged feud with Priscilla Presley
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Lisa Marie Presley's daughter Riley Keough and her husband Ben Smith-Petersen were snapped stepping out for grocery shopping in Los Angeles on Friday, February 17. The couple appeared to be leaving the upscale grocery store Erewhon, donning casual winter outfits on a chilly day in Los Angeles. The pair were reportedly spotted shopping at the same store only four days ago.
The California native sported an all-black athleisure-inspired look as she wore a black puffer jacket along with wide-legged yoga pants and a pair of fresh white trainers. Keough carried a black leather handbag and wore a pair of beige sunglasses to go with her casual yet sporty look. Smith-Petersen, on his part, wore basic blue jeans and a white t-shirt underneath a blue button-down. He finished his ensemble with a classic pair of black Vans sneakers and matching black sunglasses. The outing comes amid the ongoing feud between Keough and her grandmother Priscilla Presley over Lisa Marie's estate following her death at 54.

'Riley and Priscilla aren’t communicating'
Keough, the eldest grandchild of the late Elvis Presley and Priscilla, is reportedly not on speaking terms with her grandmother due to her decision to contest Lisa Marie’s will. “Riley has been mourning the loss of her mother and is heartbroken to have to deal with a trust dispute with a family member,” the source told Entertainment Tonight. The source further said, “Priscilla is adamant that she has a valid case and that she will prevail in court. Riley and Priscilla aren’t communicating at this time, but have been in communication through lawyers.”
Priscilla was removed from Lisa Marie's will
Lisa Marie’s will reportedly states that the estate of Graceland in Memphis, TN, goes to Keough and her younger half-sisters, 14-year-old twins, Harper and Finley. However, she had previously named her mother Priscilla, and former business manager, Barry Siegel, as the trustees. It appears Priscilla was removed from the will following the discovery of a document that said Lisa Marie had amended the trust to include just her children. Thus, Priscilla is contesting the arrangement claiming "that [the] old documents had been forged."
Lisa Marie's friends are displeased by Priscilla interfering with the will as the mother-daughter duo was never on good terms. “Lisa didn’t want to have anything to do with her mom,” her friend alleged to the outlet. She further said, “She was basically estranged from Priscilla for the last seven to eight years. They only talked when there was no option.”
