It’s been almost a year since their famous father’s death, and Michael Jackson’s children have understandably attracted a great deal of attention in that time. We’ve seen them at his memorial service, the Grammy Awards and on YouTube. But who are they really? They’re unique individual s, each a bit like their dad. At 13, Prince Michael Jackson is, in the words of family, “very smart” and an aspiring filmmaker. A year younger, Paris Jackson is “the strongest” of the three. That’s according to their grandmother and guardian, Katherine Jackson, who recently opened up to London’s Daily Mirror about caring for the star’s children. Their baby brother Blanket (real name Prince Michael Jackson II) is, well, a baby brother. His uncle, Jermaine Jackson, says he’s a water-gun-toting prankster. “As soon as you turn your back,” he told London’s Sun of Blanket, who his own son was accused of trying to taser, “he shoots you and you’re left soaking wet.” While Katherine Jackson recently said the home-schooled Prince, Paris and Blanket ” don’t have any friends ” she says they’re going to school come September. In a separate interview with the Associated Press, Katherine Jackson’s lawyer Adam Streisand noted only that Prince Michael would be heading off to school. But deep down, they’re pretty regular kids, just like MJ wanted. They’re upbeat, they’re into video games, movies, karate, and just playing with each other. If you caught Blanket going bonkers with his light saber moves YouTube, you already know he’s come out of his shell a bit. His older siblings are no different. The children are thriving, and what is often overlooked is how Michael Jackson, who lacked a real childhood himself, raised these three without mothers. Perhaps he was more human than people gave him credit for being. “The kids are happy,” said their godfather and Michael’s friend Mark Lester , the former child actor of Oliver! fame. “Things are settling down. That’s good.”
