Prince Michael "Blanket" Jackson II (born February 21, 2002) is the youngest child of pop icon Michael Jackson.

Early life

From left to right Paris, Prince, Blanket.

In 2002, Michael Jackson won his 22nd American Music Award for Artist of the Century.[1] In the same year, Jackson's third child, Prince Michael Jackson II (nicknamed "Blanket") was born.[2] The mother's identity is unknown, but Jackson has said the child was the result of artificial insemination from a surrogate mother and his own sperm. He grew up at Neverland Ranch with his half-siblings. Following his father's death in 2009, his grandmother Katherine was made the permanent guardian of him and his siblings Paris and Prince.[3] In 2012, Katherine Jackson split custody of Jackson II and his half-siblings with his older cousin T.J. Jackson, son of Tito Jackson and a member of the group 3T.[4]

Jackson made his first television appearance as a baby in the documentary Living with Michael Jackson in 2003. In the documentary, his father explained the meaning behind his nickname Blanket, meaning to cover or 'blanket' someone with love. Jackson also became the center of controversy as an infant when his father Michael dangled him from a hotel balcony in Germany while trying to show him off to a crowd of fans waiting outside the hotel to see his father. His father later regretted his mistake; however the balcony incident has been hugely parodied and ridiculed by media and various celebrities.

In his early childhood, Jackson and his half-siblings wore various masks and veils in their father's attempt to keep their identities hidden from media, paparazzi and fans.
