For years, Michael Jackson’s children lived largely out of the public eye — protected from the relentless attention that followed their father everywhere. But now, Prince Jackson is stepping forward with confidence and purpose. In a touching and deeply personal social media post, he’s paying tribute to the King of Pop while also sharing his own voice, giving fans a rare and emotional look into his world.
Prince Jackson proves he’s always ready to back his father’s legacy. The 28-year-old recently attended the MJ: The Musical premiere at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre on March 8—flashing a confident smile in a laid-back blue suit that said, “I’m here, and I’m proud.”
MJ: The Musical, which first lit up Broadway in 2022, dives into Michael’s creative process during the Dangerous World Tour era, featuring none other than his own music and choreography. This rare appearance echoes last year’s red carpet moment in London, where his siblings Paris and Bigi “Blanket” Jackson also made a memorable splash. It’s clear: for the Jackson clan, keeping the King’s flame burning is a family affair.
However, Prince Jackson isn’t in it for the spotlight—he’s too busy changing lives. While many chase fame, the 28-year-old’s focus in Los Angeles is on philanthropy. In an interview last December, he admitted, “I come from a very rich family history, and those are some big shoes to fill. I don’t know if I ever could, but I wear it like a badge of honor.”
For him, honoring his father’s legacy isn’t about flashing lights; it’s about making a real impact. With the launch of The Passion Project—an initiative that helps underserved LA kids chase their dreams—Prince proves that following in Michael’s monumental footsteps means giving back in a big, genuine way.
Prince Jackson recently lit up Instagram with a carousel of moments from the past months—and one post in particular stole the show. In a candid snap, he shared a nostalgic picture of himself as a newborn, held tenderly by his father.
The caption read, “I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and love. I grew up traveling the world because of my father and even though he’s not here physically I’m still fortunate enough to see the world and have the experiences I do because of him. Running into Manny and feeling the love and hearing the stories are beautiful reminders of how lucky I am. I don’t know why, but I have been blessed by God and I’m extremely humbled and grateful. I just hope I can share these blessings with the rest of the world.”
Fans didn’t stay silent. One wrote, “Hey Prince…as one of your dad’s forever fans I am so so happy to see you living a beautiful life. He would have wanting nothing less for you and would be so proud how you work so hard to help where you can and show love and grace to the MJ fan community.” Another commenter agreed, “We love ypu Prince♥️Dad would be proud of you🙌❤️”
