In a rare interview with
Good Morning Britain, Michael Jackson’s eldest son, Prince, opened up about the close bond that he shares with siblings, Paris and Prince II.
The eldest child of the late pop legend Micheal Jackson spoke on the breakfast show and revealed how his father’s emphasis on putting those closest to him above all has been ingrained within him.
“When we were growing up, my father would say, ‘We could have nothing, but you look around in this room, your brother, your sister, and me, that’s all you’ll ever have,'” Prince shared on the daytime show.
The world famous musician and his then-wife Debbie Rowe welcomed their first son, Prince, in February 1997, followed by his sibling, Paris, in April 1998. Before Michael’s tragic passing in 2009, he welcomed a third child, Prince Michael Jackson II, also known as Blanket, via surrogate in February 2002.
Prince and Paris have also recently turned their personal relationship into a professional one, with the oldest sibling producing the music video for Paris’ single with her band, “Your Look,” in July 2020.
Elsewhere, Prince has turned his focus on philanthropy, including helping to fund educational resources for children. And he says he’s had some guidance along the way.
“It’s not like a voice in my head, but in a way, it is,” he shared of getting advice from his dad. “Because when you do philanthropic work and if you care about it a lot such as myself and my family, I think you tend to carry the weight or struggles of the people that you’re trying to help. And he’s kind of always on my shoulder, in my ear, motivating me to keep that moral compass pointing North.”
