And you can evenhave a private luncheonin Beverly Hills with Elvis’s ex-wife, Priscilla, whoopens up about the difficultiesshe faced while adjusting to life as the late King of Rock and Roll’s wife after she married him in 1967 in this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.
“I thought, ‘Why not be a part of it?'” Priscilla tells PEOPLE. “I used to have a different opinion about these estate sales, but then as I got older I realized that you have to pass these things down to someone who’ll really appreciate them.”
To have Priscilla on board, says Kruse GWS founder Brigitte Kruse, who will also be at the luncheon, is priceless: “She’s just such a wealth of experience and knowledge. You don’t study and learn about Elvis without learning about Priscilla as well. Their names are synonymous.”
A portion of the luncheon auction proceeds will go to theDream Foundation— which supports terminally ill adults and their families — in honor of Priscilla’s late mother Ann, who diedon Aug. 2at age 95.
“I’m just happy this year has passed,” she says, “and hopefully we can have some good news come in.”
“This collection chronicles so many important moments in entertainment history,” says Kruse.
