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.

Jackson/Rowe Not the Biological Parents

We’ve learned Michael Jackson was not the biological father of any of his children. And Debbie Rowe is not the biological mother of the two kids she bore for Michael. All three children were conceived in vitro — outside the womb. Multiple sources deeply connected to the births tell us Michael was not the sperm donor for any of his kids. Debbie’s eggs were not used. She was merely the surrogate, and paid well for her services in the births of Michael Jr. and Paris.

In the case of Prince Michael II (the youngest), we’re told the surrogate was never told of the identity of the “receiving parent” — Michael Jackson. Three days after Prince was born at Grossmont Hospital in San Diego County, Jackson’s lawyer came to the hospital to pick the baby up and deliver him to Michael.

We do not know if Jackson chose the sperm or egg donors or if he even knew who they were. Although Rowe is not the biological mother, it’s not a slam dunk that she would lose a custody battle. This type of case has never been litigated in California courts. Since Rowe was married to Jackson when Michael Jr. and Paris were born, there’s a presumption that she’s the biological parent. That presumption can be rebutted by other evidence. We know there are documents outlining the whole arrangement for the birth of all three kids. Nonetheless, it’s still an open issue with the courts.
