After Elvis left Germany (March 1960) he did not take much of a break.. He went right to work, it was the beginning of his movie years. Priscilla as we know was still in Germany going to HS. it was Priscilla who wrote letters to Elvis begging him to talk to het Dad. She was desperate to live in the USA, and be with Elvis. During a period of time, 6 months or more..Priscilla had not heard from Elvis..no letters, no phone calls. She wad busy living a teenager life in HS..Her parents panicked over possible losing out a chance of a lifetime.. Elvis had a very hard time turning people down and saying "NO". He gave in to Priscilla and her parents.. She moves into GL even before her senior year is over..just a few months short of her 18th birthday, and graduation..Elvis is in Hollywood making a film. This is odd, why not finish your senior year, then go to Memphis? Prior to this time , Elvis was seeing Anita Wood, they were very serious..It all came to a halt..Enter the Beaulieu's..I also feel Elvis felt something for Priscilla, or maybe he felt he was rescueing her..real or imagined, or made up.. This is all in Child Bride by Suzanne Finstad. A well researched book, and an eye opener. Elvis too nice to say this was not a good idea. Too much pressure put on him.

I think Elvis's intentions towards Priscilla were good and he did respect her. Nonetheless, Elvis was still pressured to marry her, and I think that is the truth. Elvis was pushed to marry her, because of a promise he made to Priscilla's stepfather, and also by his manager Colonel Tom Parker. Elvis loved being single and didn't want to get married to anyone to be honest. I think it is why their relationship failed. Neither one of them was ready for marriage nor commitment to each other.

She was to young. She was very young and didn't have time to grow up. He had life experience unlike her. It was doomed from the start. And let's be real, who let's their Young daughter have a relationship with a guy in his later twenties. Well if that guy is Elvis $. Money , fame. If it was the grocery clerk down the street does anybody think that would happen. And the father was a colonel in the air force? I believe the Memphis guys concerning Elvis being concerned with his career if it was revealed of their relationship. Elvis sounds good and seems very sincere. And opening up to the audience speaks volumes. Elvis was a such a nice generous person. Forget about his celebrity for a second, but look at his humanity. He was flawed like we all are and had a lot of commitments and people trying to get things from him. He was loyal and generous to a fault as well. RIP Elvis
