His life with Elvis and his life without. Priscilla Beaulieu-Presley, Elvis Presley’s only wife is said in a new autobiography entitled Gently, while I leave you, the secrets of the only woman of the kingPosted on October 2.
She traces her life there in a golden cage, next to the king, in love with perfection, and how she, any girl, married her at age 22, but had known her from the age of 13 times her standards of perfection, by her own will, says the microphone of BFMTV.
• “He liked everything to be beautiful and elegant”
“I didn’t have to do it, I wanted it,” said Priscilla. “He loved beautiful things, he loved beautiful clothes, including me, and I was doing the same. I was doing beautiful even to bed, I wore the most beautiful dressing room possible, beautiful pajamas. I always wanted to be beautiful for him, because he too.”
“I got up (before him), to make sure my appearance and got into bed, to make him believe that I woke up like this,” he laughs.
• Elvis, passionate about philosophy
By revealing a less known aspect of Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley says he was very versed in philosophy.
“I was very interested in philosophy, I read a lot. Sometimes I read things that I found very interesting and, I was very young and, I really didn’t really matter, I replied ‘Yes, it’s really interesting, I didn’t know,” he said laughing.
“Reading these philosophy books allowed you to understand who it was.” He never really understood why (he had found himself). Why was it also famous. He did not realize that it was thanks to his talent, to his appearance, to everything he was. I had everything. “
When imagining for a preacher, Elvis wondered if he had to give something else to fans, still very numerous, massage in front of Graceland’s networks. “He wondered if he had to do something else, faced with such a crowd, ‘maybe he should preach,” he said. Finally, he realized that this is what we expected from him, it was joy and beautiful songs. “
• “He thought he was dying young”
Elvis has always thought he would die young, Priscilla wrote in his book. “His mother had died young, like other members of his family,” he said. “And I thought that is what would happen to him too.”
However, just before he died, he didn’t think about it at all. I was busy repeating, choosing songs, having fun, relaxing. “He thought something was wrong, but he didn’t think he was going to die,” said Priscilla Presley.
For years, before his death, the king took many drugs. It was notably treated by depression. “At that time, if we wanted something to prescribe us, (the doctors) gave it to him,” said Priscilla.
“He was taking (all these drugs) because they allowed him to feel better.” No one around him could tell him anything. “We couldn’t tell him ‘you can’t do this.’ He was responsible for himself and knew what he wanted.”
• Michael Jackson was “fascinated by Elvis”
In his book, Priscilla Presley also talks about his daughter, Lisa-Marie Presley, who disappeared in January 2023. He was 9 years old, when her father died, but she was very close to him. “My daughter had a lot of will and she generally got what she wanted,” he said, trusting his difficulties in raising her. Very aware of being Elvis Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie never hesitated to use it as an argument.
Priscilla also tried to control his frequency. “I followed her to see if she told me the truth.”
He warned only a few days before his marriage to Michale Jackson, in 1994, Priscilla wrote in his book that this marriage “disgusted.” “It was too fast after gathering,” he explains. For her, Michael Jackson was more interested in Elvis Presley’s celebrity. “He was fascinated by Elvis Presley. He asked questions about him,” said Priscilla. “By marrying Lisa Marie, Michael Jackson married the Presley dynasty.”
“Michael Jackson was a manipulator,” he says. I feel a small problem to say that today, when you are no longer there. But I was just trying to protect my daughter. “
