Among those who paid touching tribute Lisa-Marie Presley, who died of a heart attack on Thursday at the age of 54 is also included Sarah Ferguson. A message posted to Instagram yesterday, demonstrating the strong bond between the Duchess and the American singer-songwriter.
Sarah Ferguson and Lisa Marie Presley: surprise friends
Who would have thought that Prince Andrew’s ex-wife and Elvis Presley’s only daughter were so close. However, it is enough to read the message in the post: «I greet you every day and I love you my little sister and I will continue to greet you every day. You were my little sister, a wonderful mother to Ben, Riley, Harper and Finley, and a most loving daughter to Priscilla.”
Sarah then goes on to talk about her relationship with the tragically late woman: “You have been my faithful friend for many years and I am here to support and love your family. I am deeply sad my little sister, you are in my heart.
“Sister,” he calls her. «Devoted friend», «little sister». Adjectives that say a lot, a lot. And that shows the importance of a relationship that few were aware of.
Ferguson posted the same photo in 2020 after Presley’s son Benjamin Keough, 27, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. At the time, the Duchess wrote on Instagram: “You stayed with me in my darkest moment and I’m here in yours…I love you my sister Lisa Marie…wherever I’m with you, with all my strength.”
In fact, the two lived through various bereavements together. Beginning with the death of Michael Jackson in 2009, Presley stayed at Fergie’s $62 million rented mansion in Marbella, Spain, to suffer from prying eyes.
