Priscilla Presleyis opening up aboutElvis Presley’s desire to only have one child.
During a Friday Q&A event at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas, the actress, 78, spoke about her career, her six years of marriage to the rock icon and more as she explained to a crowd of 400 attendees that her late husband didn’t want another child after the pair welcomed daughterLisa Marie Presleyin 1968.
“Elvis felt he had a very busy schedule and he did have a bit of guilt that he wasn’t around that much when Lisa was younger,” Priscilla said of her and Elvis not having plans to expand their family before their 1973 divorce.
“With his scheduling and his touring, he just felt he wasn’t around enough to give a lot of attention to having another child.”

ActressCailee Spaeny, who plays the titular Presley in the film oppositeJacob Elordi’s Elvis, recently spoke to PEOPLEabout what it was liketo transform into Priscilla on set.
“They worked incredibly hard,” Spaeny, 25, said of the movie’s hair, makeup and wardrobe teams, who brought Priscilla’s classic looks to life.
Spaeny also explained that, while some of the wigs she wore were “heavy,” it was “actually really fun” to be aware of her physical space in that way.
“It was a missing piece to the puzzle and was really so informative of how I was going to move at different ages and stages of her life,” she said of Priscilla. “The beehive on your head, and having heels on and little dresses, you sort of move like a doll.”
Spaeny, who also spent time with Priscilla before filming, worked on mimicking her mannerisms for the film. “She’s a woman from a different era,” Spaeny noted.
“She has, which you pick up on when you’re with her, she has this softness about her. She’s very delicate on the surface, but she has such fierceness in her as well.”
