As the eldest of Michael’s three children, Prince took on a role of leadership within the family. Michael had always encouraged Prince, who was just 12 at the time of his passing, to act as a protector for his younger siblings, Paris and Bigi.

Michael had instilled in him the importance of family unity, often reminding him, “Make sure the group is taken care of.” In the years that followed, Prince embraced that responsibility.

He has publicly acknowledged that, although he is the oldest, his siblings have supported him as much as he has supported them. Describing their bond, Prince once said, “My siblings honestly picked up the slack that I unfortunately left behind.”

While many assumed Michael’s children would follow in his footsteps and pursue music careers, Prince took a different route. Instead of music, he focused on media production. In 2016, he founded King’s Son Productions, a name that subtly references his father’s famous title, the “King of Pop.”

His goal was to produce content from behind the scenes rather than in front of the camera. Prince began building his portfolio with the production of music videos. One of his early projects was the video for Omer “O-Bee” Bhatti’s “Automatic.”

Over time, his passion for production evolved into a broader interest in philanthropy and social impact. Continuing his father’s legacy of compassion, Prince co-founded the Heal Los Angeles Foundation, a nonprofit organization focused on improving the lives of underserved youth in Los Angeles.

Paris Jackson — The Independent Middle Child

Paris Jackson was just 11 years old when she faced the loss of her father. Michael’s death was a life-changing event that divided her childhood into before and after.

In interviews, she has spoken about how her father’s death left a lasting impact on her sense of security and identity. Paris has always been vocal about her desire to create her own path, separate from her father’s legacy.

Her music has been described as raw and authentic, reflecting personal experiences and emotions. Her creative work reflects her pursuit of freedom and self-expression, and it solidified her place as the most public-facing of the Jackson siblings.

She has spoken openly about how she deals with negative criticism, revealing a perspective rooted in self-assurance. “You’re on their mind — how is that a bad thing?” she said when asked about public criticism.

Her work has made her the most publicly recognizable of the Jackson siblings. But despite her visibility, Paris maintains her independence, making it clear that she wants to be known for her own accomplishments rather than as Michael Jackson’s daughter.

Bigi Jackson — The Quiet Youngest Son With a Striking Transformation

Bigi Jackson, originally known as Prince Michael Jackson II, was introduced to the world by his father under the nickname “Blanket.” The name, which Michael said symbolized love and protection, became a defining part of Bigi’s early childhood identity.

Bigi has made very few public appearances, which is why his televised interview for COP26 drew so much attention. During the interview, Bigi spoke about climate change, but it was his growth and transformation that captivated the public.

Having last been seen publicly as a boy, Bigi’s appearance as a mature young man left many people surprised. Fans were quick to share their thoughts online, with many stunned by how much he had grown.

Others were quick to point out how much Michael Jackson would have been proud of his children. One fan wrote, “So handsome just like his dad! His dad would be so proud of his children!” Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “Wow, he’s so mature & handsome! His dad would be so proud.”

Prince praised Bigi’s film knowledge, saying, “My brother has a really unique talent to be able to tell you, even a movie he hasn’t seen, what year it came out. He knows the director, the staff, the crew — everybody behind it that you wouldn’t know.”

Bigi’s quiet lifestyle hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about his future. While his siblings have clear paths in music, production, and modeling, Bigi’s journey remains more of a mystery.
