Michael Jackson's children Paris, Prince and Blanket had a very unusual upbringing at Neverland

When they were young, Jackson would never step out with his children unless their faces were covered by sheets
UPDATED MAR 18, 2019

After Wade Robson and James Safechuck alleged in Dan Reed's 'Leaving Neverland' that Michael Jackson sexually assaulted them as children, the focus has shifted to the late musician's three children — Michael 'Prince' Joseph Jackson Jr., Paris Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson II, better known as Blanket — who are facing intense scrutiny ever since the documentary aired in early March.

As the children of arguably the most significant cultural figure of the 20th century, they have lived their lives always under the spotlight, even though Jackson tried ensure that their upbringing remained as private as possible.

Given the secrecy with which the musician brought up his children, there has always been several questions regarding them, especially around their parentage.
