A former beauty pageant winner, who once dated a global music icon, has shared never before seen photos.

A former beauty pageant winner, who once dated the late Elvis Presley, has shared never before seen photos of the time she spent with his daughter Lisa Marie, when she was a child.

Thompson, 72, took to social media to share photos of the late Lisa Marie when she was younger.

In an Instagram post, where she uploaded a bunch of old polaroids, she said: “Like many of you, I am doing a little bit of spring cleaning and ran across this photo album from back in the day. These are all Polaroids. Time stood still for a few moments as I looked through these precious photos.”

“Little ‘Yisa Marisa’ as I remember her so lovingly. She was a precious little girl! Shown here she was six years old and had just lost her two front teeth.”

The beauty pageant winner, who dated Elvis from 1972 to 1976, recalled the bond they had. “She wanted me to take some pictures of her in my dressing area at the Monovale house. We had such a wonderful relationship for so many years. She’s still a part of my heart.”

Fans reached out saying they were moved by the images, describing the memories as “precious and priceless”.

It comes after Lisa Marie Presley’s former house went up on Airbnb - and fans have booked the place out for the next six months.

The singer-songwriter’s East Sussex mansion is now fully booked until late September after it was listed on Airbnb, just months after Presley’s shock death.

Lisa Marie and then-husband Michael Lockwood lived in the Rotherfield property for more than a decade.

For $277 a night, fans can live in the one bedroom cottage, The Granary which sits in the heart of the 500-year-old estate, reported The Sun.

A swimming pool and hot tub can also be used, while the property also features ornamental ponds and orchards.

A$6.1m in January 2021 - a year before the 54-year-old died of a cardiac arrest.

It had been on the market for five years, ever since Ms Presley split with Mr Lockwood in 2016.

It comes amid tension within Ms Presley’s family, with her mother, Priscilla Presley reportedly no longer on speaking terms with her granddaughter, Riley Keough.

A legal battle over the will of Ms Presley, the only child of Elvis Presley. It emerged after her shock death she had changed the terms of her will to make her eldest daughter and son Benjamin Keough – who died by suicide in 2020 – her sole heirs.

The change was reportedly made in 2016, when Lisa Marie Presley removed her mother from the will entirely - something Priscilla Presley thinks may have been forged.

She is arguing her daughter’s signature on a 2016 amendment appeared “inconsistent.”

Some have dismissed her move as a “money grab,” a source told Entertainment Tonight Presley “is convinced that [the] old documents had been forged”.

“Riley has been mourning the loss of her mother and is heartbroken to have to deal with a trust dispute with a family member,” the source told Entertainment Tonight.

“Priscilla is adamant that she has a valid case and that she will prevail in court. Riley and Priscilla aren’t communicating at this time, but have been in communication through lawyers.”
