Time seems to be flying by for Priscilla Presley’s granddaughters. The twins, Harper Vivienne Ann and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood, recently celebrated their 16th birthdays earlier in October, a milestone that Priscilla finds “unbelievable.”
At the Last Chance for Animals’ 40th Anniversary Gala on October 19, Priscilla, now 79, reflected on the twins when she told PEOPLE, “16. Unbelievable.” She expressed her astonishment, saying, “I still see them as little children,” and added that spending time with the girls is “fun.”
Last year, Priscilla shared a rare family photo on Instagram featuring Harper, Finley, and her eldest granddaughter, Riley Keough, to celebrate the twins’ middle school graduation.
In the caption, she wrote a heartfelt message: “Happy Graduation girls! You’re now in high school!!! ❤️❤️.” This post came shortly after she and Keough, 35, reached an agreement regarding the late Lisa Marie’s trust.
Lisa Marie, Priscilla’s only child and the twins’ mother, tragically passed away in January 2023 at 54 due to cardiac arrest. She had Harper and Finley with Michael Lockwood, 63, from whom she filed for divorce in 2016 after ten years of marriage.
During a custody battle between Lisa Marie and Lockwood, the twins lived with their grandmother for a time. They have since maintained a close bond, even fostering puppies together during the COVID pandemic.
Before her marriage to Lockwood, Lisa Marie had two children with Danny Keough. They married in 1988 and divorced in 1994, welcoming Riley and their son, Benjamin, who sadly died by suicide in July 2020. After Lisa Marie’s passing, a source told PEOPLE that Riley is very protective of her younger sisters, Harper and Finley.
“Riley has always been close with her sisters,” the source revealed. “She wants the best for them. They have been surrounded by drama for years.” In the wake of Lisa Marie’s death, Lockwood stated that the twins would “carry on the family legacy.”
He emphasized the importance of caring for his daughters, saying, “The most important thing to me at this time is to take care of my daughters, making sure they always feel safe and loved. Both of them have incredible spirit, and they will carry our family’s legacy on for the rest of their lives.”
