When Elvis Presley, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, met Priscilla Beaulieu in 1959, he was 24, and she was only 14. They met while he was stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army, and she was the daughter of an Air Force officer.
Their relationship, while controversial by today’s standards, was quietly accepted — even celebrated — in the media of the time.
After years of long-distance communication and carefully orchestrated visits, Priscilla moved to Graceland at 17 under the condition that they would eventually marry. They wed in Las Vegas in 1967, when she was 21.
But Priscilla would later describe their life as one where she was molded, not loved as an equal.
Their marriage ended in 1973 — yet their story remains one of the most iconic, and complicated, love stories in American pop culture.
