Priscilla Presley revealed a shocking detail from her past, confessing that she discovered Elvis Presley’s infidelity through fan mail.
During a panel discussion at MegaCon Orlando on February 7, the Elvis star shared the challenges of dealing with a broken marriage under the shadow of fame.
“It was hard, you know, to get used to all the guys, not just Elvis but all the guys, they were like this, and I love them all, but it was a man’s world, and I was really the only woman,” she said.
Priscilla stated, “He was gone a lot… and I would hear stories and the thing that did it for me was we had a home in Palm Springs, and… I decided to go up and check the mail and make sure the house was okay,” she explained.
She recalled that when Priscilla removed the mail from the mailbox, she found something that changed everything.
“A lot of it was like, ‘Oh Elvis, thank you for the invite. Charlie Hodge [Elvis’ best friend and confidante] asked me to come up and I’m so glad you, you know, you greeted me and my girlfriends,’” Priscilla said.
She went on to read, “‘Elvis, I had the best night with you. Thank you so much,’” Priscilla added, thinking, “Hello, it’s getting worse.”
“I decided, gosh, he’s living another life and I just couldn’t take it. Every time he’d go to Vegas or even Palm Springs, it was, you know, it was difficult.”
Although their marriage faced long struggles, she shared that it ended “lovingly.”
