Priscilla has been speaking about their marriage ever since his death. She spoke at the “Elvis Direct From Graceland” exhibit at the Bendigo Art Gallery, Australia, March 2022. She admitted that things were “difficult” at first due to the media attention.
She said that the beginning of their marriage was difficult. However, she knew what was ahead of her because it was something she saw at an early age.
“That was when I stopped reading magazines or papers in grocery stores.
Priscilla had previously stated to People that she was “nervous” about him being alone during their marriage, as he always attracted the attention of other women wherever he went.
She said, “Women gravitated towards him, so it would be nerve-wracking when he had the responsibility of going places alone. I would even go along with him to clean his teeth!
“I kept an eye on him because everyone was after him.
Priscilla and Elvis remained good friends despite their divorce . She even spoke to him before his death.

Elvis was unfaithful while they were together, but Thompson would often forgive him for cheating.
