Elvis Presley's personal life was far from perfect despite the glitz and glamour of his career. Despite all the songs their relationship inspired, the King of Rock n' Roll's marriage to Priscilla Presley was not as perfect as one would imagine.

Elvis first met Priscilla in 1958 while he was stationed in Friedberg, Germany. He had been drafted into the US Army and did not waste time before striking up a relationship with the 14-year-old woman, whose surname was Beaulieu at the time. The star left the army two years later and returned to the USA, but Priscilla realized she couldn't stay away from her lover, and so she began visiting him from time to time. She eventually moved to Graceland, Memphis in 1963, permanently. However, she would soon witness another side to the actor and performer that she hadn't seen previously.
