Elvis Presley has been dead for 41 years — but Elvis’ exes Priscilla Presley and Ginger Alden are still battling over who ruled his heart! Statuesque beauty Ginger was the one who found Elvis dead on the floor of his bathroom in Graceland in August 1977 at the age of 42. But nearly ever since, Ginger and Priscilla have been locked in a nasty catfight to lay claim to Elvis’ romantic legacy — and the claws are still out! The National ENQUIRER revealed in February that Ginger was already seething over a British TV appearance where Priscilla once again said Elvis wanted her back in his final days.

But, added the insider, “Priscilla didn’t want Elvis back.
She knew his life was being wasted by drug abuse. Besides that, he cheated on her repeatedly. But Priscilla still harbored a lot of jealousy toward Ginger — who was 12 years younger and a dead ringer for her!”

Today, Priscilla still seethes that Ginger (here with Elvis in Hawaii) “continues to present herself as Elvis’ widow in many ways,” a friend said. “Priscilla believes Elvis would have eventually kicked Ginger to the curb before they ever married — and that he would have continued to carry a torch for Priscilla!”
