The legacy that Michael Jackson left behind could not protect the three children from having a happy childhood.

Michael Jackson’s “Treasure”

For everyone, Michael Jackson’s songs and performances are the priceless “treasures” that he left behind after his death. But perhaps for Michael Jackson, the treasures he regrets the most are his 3 children – 3 little angels that he once protected like his own life.

Prince Jackson is the first son of Michael Jackson and his second wife, nurse Deborah Jeanne Rowe. After Prince, Michael Jackson had two more children, daughters Paris Jackson and Prince Jackson II .

When Michael Jackson was alive, all three children were strictly protected, forbidden from contact with strangers, especially the press. Even when going out, Michael Jackson’s children had to wear masks to avoid being revealed.

Michael and his children live in Neverland Ranch. It is known that he spent a lot of money to build this ranch for his children. Michael also extremely pampers his daughter Paris Jackson, raising her like a little princess.

Michael built the castle in a Disneyland-like state so that his children could play comfortably. Michael loved taking portraits with his children, especially when they were young. He also loved to buy strange and adorable children’s clothes for Prince and Paris. Michael always tried to keep his children’s lives private, as well as supporting them in pursuing their own passions.

Michael’s youngest son is Blanket Jackson. In a documentary , Michael Jackson revealed that he nicknamed his youngest son Blanket because it means “blessing” and “a way to show love and care for others”.

The person Blanket admires the most is his father. Since childhood, Blanket liked to have long hair like his father and always considered his father as a role model.

Funeral of the century

On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson died.

The sudden passing of Michael Jackson left Hollywood in tears. In many parts of the world , people still wonder if this was a lie.

On July 7, 2009, Michael Jackson’s funeral of the century was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The memorial service was one of the most watched events in streaming history, with an estimated worldwide audience of nearly 3 billion people.

Many tears were shed, many words of what if, many regrets. But perhaps, for the late singer Michael Jackson, the most painful thing was leaving behind the three children he loved the most.

At the memorial service for Michael Jackson, the three children burst into tears and said goodbye to their father. At that time, Michael Jackson’s eldest son – Preuss was only 12 years old, using his small hands to hug his two younger siblings. Compared to his two younger siblings who were still crying silently, 12-year-old Preuss seemed much more restrained, he was silent with tears streaming down his face, looking at his father’s coffin and thinking about the “last mission” that his father wanted to tell him. He wished he would grow up quickly so he could protect his two younger siblings.

At her father’s funeral, Paris – Michael Jackson’s little princess stood in front of the crowd for the first time, trembling to express her loss.

“I just want to say that since I was born, Dad has always been the best dad I could ever imagine,” she said, looking at her brother Prince and brother Blanket with tears in her eyes. “And I just want to say, I love you so much,” she said, looking at her brother Prince and brother Blanket with tears in her eyes.

That day, fans could never forget the beautiful little girl with long brown hair painfully saying goodbye to her father.

The tragedy of the children

After Michael Jackson passed away, the three children had a very difficult time. They had to get used to socializing , living a life without their father, and accepting the scrutiny of the media.

Michael Jackson’s eldest son inherited vitiligo. His second daughter, the child raised by her father like a little princess, was sexually abused, suffered from depression and even attempted suicide. As for his youngest son, an innocent boy who had not yet fully felt the pain of losing his father, he was ostracized and bullied by his friends.

After their father passed away, the three children moved to live with their grandmother. Many sources said that Prince Jackson inherited his father’s vitiligo. Although modern medical technology can now control this disease better, Prince Jackson still has to live with it.

After graduating from college, Prince Jackson did not pursue art but developed his business. Currently, Prince Jackson founded his own company called King’s Son Productions – inspired by Michael Jackson’s nickname “King of Pop “. Prince Jackson’s company also develops in the fields of film and music. Through this company, Prince Jackson supports his sister in pursuing art and helps his brother in producing short films, art projects, etc.

Prince Jackson and his sister Paris Jackson

As for Paris Jackson, after her father passed away, she could no longer live the carefree, simple life she had before. She had to learn to grow up independently, the first step was to step onto the school campus. Everyone knew that Paris Jackson was Jackson’s daughter, at first they would behave politely, then they would talk behind her back. As time passed, people discovered that Paris was shy, sensitive, and did not dare to speak up when she was treated wrongly, so they started bullying her.

From then on, the shy and introverted little princess became increasingly depressed and silent, she was diagnosed with severe depression and even became addicted to drugs. This was also the most painful period in Paris’ life when she was raped by a stranger.

On June 15, 2013, Paris used a broken wine bottle to cut her wrist and then committed suicide. Luckily, her family discovered her in time and saved her. But that was not the first time Paris Jackson committed suicide, there were horrifying marks on her wrist.

Paris Jackson of today is going through the twists and turns of life every day. The little girl is now pursuing art as a singer and model. Luckily, Paris Jackson’s journey always has the support of her older brother and younger brother.

The three brothers Prince Jackson, Paris Jackson and Blanket Jackson appeared together

As for the youngest son, Blanket Jackson, after his father passed away, there was no one to protect him anymore. At his father’s funeral, Blanket Jackson revealed his true face. When he went to school, Blanket Jackson was often bullied at school because of his long hair. Blanket Jackson was even pulled by the hair and subjected to school violence because of his name. Later, Blanket Jackson changed his name to Bigi Jackson. However, the boy still kept his long hair because this was what Bigi felt was most like his father.

Later, with the support of his brother, Bigi decided to learn Taekwondo to protect himself. Because he had no friends, Bigi started writing, learning how to record all his thoughts and feelings in writing. Although he did not pursue an artistic career as an artist, Bigi loved movies and writing scripts…

Bigi wrote and directed Rochelles – a short film that won Best Drama at the Santa Monica Film Festival.

In contrast to his siblings, Blanket rarely appears in public. In a 2021 interview with Peope, he talked about his desire to make an impact on the world and raise awareness about climate change. In addition, Bigi also pursued a short film career, dabbling in scriptwriting and production at his brother’s company.

Currently, Prince, Paris and Bigi are pursuing their own passions and projects. All three still maintain a close relationship, supporting each other to develop together.
