With countless hit singles and groundbreaking dance moves that many other artists continue to experiment with today, Michael Jackson's legacy lives on thanks to his children.
When asked about what it felt like to be the son of one of the biggest stars in music history, Prince told the Good Morning Britain programme that he never felt out of place. "I am very grateful and honored to have spent time with my father, absorbing as much as possible from him," he said.
Prince Jackson at age 27
At just 12 years old when his father passed away, Prince stepped into the spotlight to speak on behalf of his family. Beyond protecting his father's legacy, Prince has built his own career, ranging from business ventures to philanthropic projects.
As the son of a global music icon, it was assumed that Prince's life was paved with red carpets thanks to his father's fame. However, Michael was aware of his son's growing life and kept him away from the spotlight.
Prince describes his father as a down-to-earth man who taught him valuable lessons that money can't buy. "I was born in Los Angeles. Around the age of six or seven, I left the country with my father and lived in Bahrain, Dubai, and Oman for a while. Because of that, I understand and accept many different cultures," he shared in an episode of the podcast *Find Your Grind*.

We will continue to spread his message and help the world ," Prince stated.
