Priscilla Presley to Meghan Markle on her upcoming wedding to Prince Harry: 'fame can be cruel'

(30 Nov 2017) PRISCILLA PRESLEY TO MEGHAN MARKLE ON HER UPCOMING WEDDING TO PRINCE HARRY: 'FAME CAN BE CRUEL' Priscilla Presley knows all about being catapulted to international fame overnight: she met Elvis Presley, ten years her senior, in 1959, when she was just 14 years old. Widespread press interest in the relationship followed, and by the time the couple married in 1967, Priscilla was well used to being in the spotlight. "Obviously you're very happy that people, you know, are rooting for you and want to see you, you know, happy and of course have children, but it's a huge adjustment. There is no doubt - it will never be the same. Your life will never be the same. You have to adjust to it." The 72-year-old actress and businesswoman has some thoughts for Meghan Markle, who despite already being well-known for her acting career, is about to step onto the world stage by marrying Prince Harry. "They look very happy together and obviously he's waited a while for this special girl, so I think it's great. But it is adjustment. I mean, it would be ridiculous, you know, to go from a normal life and to fame. Fame, you know, can be very invasive; fame can be cruel. I mean, you're on a little bit of a rollercoaster ride trying to adjust to it, so it's part of it - it's part of life." Presley was in London to promote the launch of a new exhibition, "Elvis on Tour," which has opened at the O2. The exhibition features 200 pieces from every year of Elvis's touring career, from 1969 when he first went back to performing live on stage in Las Vegas, through his last concert in Indianapolis, Indiana, on June 26 1977. Some of the pieces have never been displayed outside Presley's Memphis home, Graceland, and most have never been seen in London before. Fans of the King can see dozens of examples of his costumes and stagewear along with guitars, jewelry, posters and - for the first time - unique interviews with Elvis's touring band. The exhibit includes more than 35 jumpsuits. Presley possessed over 110 of the one-piece suits, and 88 of these are at Graceland, while others are in private collections. Many are heavily embroidered or embellished, and some weigh over 30lbs. Presley took to jumpsuits, says his former wife Priscilla, because of an unfortunate incident on stage. "The reason why he went into the jumpsuits was because when he performing, he was doing a little karate, lifting his leg and then his pants ripped." Elvis asked costume designer Bill Belew to make him an outfit in stretchy fabric that was guaranteed not to cause an onstage wardrobe malfunction. Presley is the world's biggest-selling recording artist, with sales in excess of one billion records. He was nominated for 14 Grammy Awards, and given a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at just 36. He also starred in 33 films. He died in August 1977, aged 42. The "Elvis on Tour" exhibition follows the 2014/15 "Elvis at the 02" show, which was visited by 200,000 people. "Elvis on Tour" runs until 4 February 2018.
