His presence at the event sparked online discussions, with many comparing him to his late father, Michael Jackson.
For the event honoring his father, Prince Jackson looked sharp in a blue pin-striped suit, complemented by a white shirt, a purple tie, and formal shoes. He smiled confidently while posing on the red carpet.
Sporting his signature ponytail, Prince’s appearance sparked mixed reactions online. While some admired his tribute, others couldn’t help but notice a resemblance to Michael Jackson, with one fan exclaiming, “Looks just like him!!”
In response, another netizen agreed, commenting, “…He does actually. So do Paris and especially Blanket [sic].”
After seeing a different photo of Prince, someone else echoed the sentiment, calling him and his father a “mirror image” of each other.

Highlighting one of Prince’s endearing traits, a Facebook user noted, “He’s always smiling. Handsome.”

Echoing the sentiment, another person shared, “Prince Jackson is celebrating the King of Pop’s lasting legacy!”
This isn’t the first time one of Michael’s children has sparked discussions about their resemblance to the late singer. Bigi Jackson also made a rare public appearance on October 10, 2024, drawing similar comparisons.
At the time, Bigi Jackson, who went by Blanket until his name change in 2015, was dressed casually in a faded gray Avengers T-shirt, green athletic shorts, black sneakers, and white crew socks. He was photographed during a solo lunch outing.
Like his brother, Bigi sported long dark hair parted in the middle and tucked behind his ears. He also had some facial hair. Fans who saw photos from the outing pointed out the striking resemblance he shares with his late father.
One fan who saw the resemblance commented, “He looks alot [sic] like MJ,” while another person exclaimed, “😮 Yup, spitting image😳😳.” Echoing the same sentiment, someone else said, “I think he looks like Michael.”
Convinced of the family connection, a fan remarked, “I 100% believe that this is Michael Jackson’s only true biological child😍.” Another fan agreed, adding, “I see the resemblance 👀 😏.”
One fan emphasized, “He looks just like his daddy Michael!” highlighting the strong resemblance. Another user pointed out, “He looks so much like his father Michael and he looks like sad [sic],” referencing both the likeness and his expression.
Still, another netizen noticed the resemblance, writing, “He looks so much like Michael especially from behind. Where’s the body guards [sic] though?”
Bigi is the youngest sibling of Paris Jackson, 26, and Prince Jackson, 28. He was born via a surrogate in 2002 as Prince Michael Jackson II before later adopting his current name.
Bigi and his father were once at the center of a controversial incident that sparked widespread criticism. When Bigi was just nine months old, Michael Jackson famously held him over a hotel balcony in Berlin, with a towel covering his face.
The late artist performed the stunt as a way to present his son to fans gathered below his hotel room window. Reports suggested that Michael Jackson was aiming for a grand “Lion King” moment.
After receiving requests from fans eager to catch a glimpse of his newborn son, he attempted to show Bigi off from the hotel window. However, the act quickly sparked widespread backlash, as many criticized him for putting the child at risk.
Following the controversy, the King of Pop issued an apology, stating, “I offer no excuses for what happened. I made a terrible mistake. I got caught up in the excitement of the moment. I would never intentionally endanger the lives of my children.”
Among his siblings, Bigi appeared to have the hardest time coping with their father’s passing in 2009. He seemed deeply affected by the loss, struggling more than Prince and Paris.
Fortunately, according to a family friend, Michael’s sons found comfort in each other as best friends, bonding over their shared love for science and science fiction.
For example, in November 2021, the siblings hosted a “Thriller Night” event at their Hayvenhurst home, aimed at benefiting the Heal Los Angeles Foundation. During the event, Bigi spoke about his father’s legacy and his passion for climate change.
He highlighted the fascinating aspects of the Hayvenhurst house and studio, emphasizing their rich history and how they reflect Michael’s legacy. Bigi also mentioned that he and his siblings share a common goal of creating work that not only brings joy but also positively impacts people’s lives.
Bigi reiterated his commitment to addressing climate change, stressing its significance and the work that still needs to be done. He expressed his belief that his generation understands the issue’s importance and is ready to take action.
