Michael Jackson’s kids to go to school for the first time

After living most of their lives behind closed doors, being schooled by tutors and wearing veils in public, Michael Jackson’s three children will go to school for the first time.

Almost a year after their dad’s sudden death on June 25 last year, Prince, 13, Paris, 12, and Blanket, 8 have been enrolled in a private school, their grandmother and legal guardian Katherine Jackson tellsThe Mail on Sunday.

“I’d say I’m a little less strict but I’ve tried to follow the way Michael was raising them,” the 80-year-old says in her first interview since Michael’s death.

“But they don’t have friends. They don’t go to school. They have private lessons at home.

“They’ll be going to a private school in September for the first time.”

Katherine adds that all three children take after Michael in their own ways. Paris plays the piano and wants to be an actress, Prince is interested in the arts and wants to be a film producer and Blanket shares his dad’s sense of playfulness.

Debbie Rowe Not Allowed to Visit Michael’s Children

Michael Jackson’s father has dismissed reports the Jackson family has been preventing the singer’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe from visiting her children, insisting they have a good relationship with her.

Rowe, who is the biological mother of Jackson’s eldest kids Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11, visited the Jackson family home to spend some time with her children earlier this year, and now patriarch Joe Jackson has fired back at critics, who have suggested Rowe has been kept away from the pre-teens.

He tells Britain’s News of the World, “Debbie came over with some presents and talked with the kids. They knew that she was their mother, but didn’t make a big fuss.

It was all done in about 10 minutes, but it was a good meeting.” He adds, “Whatever has been said, nobody has stopped Debbie from seeing the children. Katherine and she have a good relationship.”

And the Jackson patriarch insists the children, as well as younger brother Prince Michael II, seven, are coping well almost a year on from their dad’s death. He adds, “They adored their daddy, but they have recovered well.

The first few months were hard, but now they are enjoying their life in Encino.” And Jackson is proud of his late son’s efforts as a dad – because the two Prince Michaels and Paris are super smart:

“Michael made sure they had a strict upbringing, and made sure they studied hard and were only allowed to watch TV at weekends. He was a great, but strict father. Now those kids are the smartest and Michael’s trained them to be aware of the world and its perils.”
