Elvis Presley's ex shares rare throwback snaps of 'precious' Lisa Marie Presley

Elvis Presley's ex partner has shared a sweet throwback post showing a young Lisa Marie Presley.

Taking to social media, Linda Thompson shared rare snaps of Lisa Marie as a child.

Former model Linda, 72, started dating the King of Rock n Roll in 1972 when Lisa Marie was just four-years-old. Uploading images of the youngster, who died at the age of 54 in January, Linda described her as "precious".

The adorable images showed a six-year-old Lisa Marie flashing a gappy smile towards the camera with her front teeth missing.

The youngster was snapped wearing a patterned red shirt which was tied at the belly as her legendary dad's facial features were clear to see.

Another showed the pair relaxing in their bathing suits on a luxurious boat, while a third showed a young Lisa Marie with Linda and a number of other women stood in front of a Christmas tree while wearing pyjamas.

Linda, who later married Caitlyn Jenner in 1981, reminisced over the snaps in a lengthy Instagram post. She explained how she had been doing some "spring cleaning" when she came across the polaroids.

"Time stood still for a few moments as I looked through these precious photos," she gushed.

"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."

Linda revealed how a young Lisa Marie asked her to take the snaps at the Monovale house before opening up on their "wonderful relationship".

"She’s still a part of my heart," Linda admitted.

She went on to say Lisa Marie's daughter Riley Keough shows so many "nuances" in her facial expressions that remind her of the "lovely" Lisa in Daisy Jones and the Six.

Linda concluded: "Lisa‘s lovely, formidable, powerful presence lives on in her gorgeous and talented daughter."

Riley is currently embroiled in a bitter legal battle with her grandmother Priscilla Presley regarding Lisa Marie's trust.

The pair are currently head-to-head in a complex legal battle, with Priscilla claiming she has been pushed out due to an amendment.

The proceedings are said to have left Riley "deeply upset at how things are unfolding".
