Michael Jackson's eldest son is increasingly successful

With countless hit singles and groundbreaking dance moves that many other artists continue to experiment with to this day, Michael Jackson's legacy lives on through his children.

Asked about what it was like to be the son of one of the biggest stars in music history, Prince told Good Morning Britain that he never felt strange. "I was very grateful and honoured to spend time with my father, to absorb as much information as I could from him," he said.

Just 12 years old when his father died, Prince stepped into the spotlight to speak up for his family. In addition to protecting his father's legacy, Prince has cultivated his own career, from business to charity projects.

As the son of a global music icon, Prince's life was arguably paved with red carpet treatment due to his father's fame. However, Michael was conscious of his son's growing up life and kept him away from the limelight.

Prince describes his father as a down-to-earth person who taught him valuable lessons that money can't buy. "I was born in Los Angeles. When I was about 6 or 7, I left the country with my dad and lived in Bahrain, Dubai, Oman for a while. That's how I learned and accepted different cultures," he shared in an episode of the Find Your Grind podcast.

On February 13, 1997, Michael Jackson and his wife Debbie Rowe welcomed Prince Jackson.

When Michael Jackson passed away, Prince Jackson, along with his two younger siblings Paris Jackson and Bigi Jackson, became the center of attention. Just a few months after the "King of Pop" passed away, Prince, Paris, and Bigi accepted the lifetime achievement award on their father's behalf at the Grammy Awards. The two brothers took turns taking the microphone to thank the Recording Academy, paying tribute to their father's legacy: "Through all of his songs, his message was simple: love. We will continue to spread his message and help the world ," Prince said.

Prince Jackson became a correspondent for ET at age 16.

In 2013, Entertainment Tonight (ET) announced that Prince was a guest correspondent. Thanks to La Toya Jackson, his first job as a full-time correspondent was confirmed when Disney's Oz the Great and Powerful was released. As a result, Prince interviewed director Sam Raimi, former General Hospital actor James Franco, and Scrubs star Zach Braff.

"I'm looking to be a producer, director, writer and actor," Prince once told ET's Brooke Anderson.

Prince Jackson began his acting career in 2013. In addition to securing a spot as a radio reporter for Entertainment Tonight, Prince Jackson made his acting debut. The pop legend's son appeared in the final episode of the television series 90210. In the episode, titled We All Fall Down , Prince played Cooper, a teenager who was injured at a concert.

After a brief stint as an actor, Prince Jackson began exploring the world of content creation. In 2015, the son of Michael Jackson created his own YouTube channel. The first video featured clips of him and his family riding ATVs around Jawbone Canyon. He uploaded another video shortly after, only this time in a go-kart.

In 2017, Prince was involved in a motorcycle accident. After colliding with a truck on his way to school, he was taken to the hospital, fortunately not seriously injured.

After graduating from high school in 2015, Prince attended Loyola Marymount University, where he met and began dating his girlfriend Molly Schirmang. Michael Jackson's son has always kept his love life private.

At a 2018 charity event, Prince told People magazine about their relationship: "I think I'm a very strong person while she's very - I don't want to say opposites - but we complement each other: I'm aggressive and she's more gentle."

After graduating from high school, Prince enrolled at Loyola Marymount University, a private university in Los Angeles, where he studied business administration. In 2019, the pop star's son took to Instagram to announce that he had officially graduated from college. Not only did he earn his bachelor's degree, but he did so with honors.

In a 2017 episode of This Morning , Prince Jackson admitted that he didn't see himself following in his father's footsteps. "I can't sing, I can't dance, I can't do any of that. I tried and it was embarrassing," he confessed. However, Prince was undeterred in his foray into the music world. In 2016, he founded the music video production company King's Son Productions.

The company produced music videos for artists such as Omer Bhatti, Nano and Sco. In 2020, Prince also collaborated with his sister Paris Jackson on her song with Gabriel Glenn - Your Look ( Glorious) .

Prince vowed to continue his father's legacy through charity work. Michael Jackson taught him from a young age that helping others was important, so it was no surprise that Prince eventually set up his own charity for the less fortunate.

In 2016, Prince and John Muto founded Heal Los Angeles, an extension of his father's Heal the World foundation. In an interview with Good Morning America , Prince announced that he had launched the project at Loyola Marymount University.

In 2022, it was announced that Graham King would be making a film based on the life of Michael Jackson. Prince Jackson teamed up with the Oscar-winning producer to bring his father's story to the big screen.

Following the announcement of the film's development, the producers revealed that Prince's cousin Jaafar Jackson had been cast as Michael Jackson in the film. In February 2024, Prince took to Instagram to reveal the first look at the Michael film. Under a photo of Jaafar as Michael, Prince wrote: "Watching you perform and work your butt off is something I've seen from watching my dad in concert. A dream come true! Proud of you!"
