On June 25, 2009, the world was rocked by the news of Michael Jackson’s death.
Michael, however, was conscious of his growing child’s life and kept him away from the limelight.
Prince’s father made this desire for privacy wipe the moment his son was born.
kindly respect our wishes and give my son his privacy."
Prince has described his father as a down-to-earth parent who taught him valuable lessons money can’t buy.
That said, being the son of the King of Pop also meant living a privileged and unique life.
“I lived in Bahrain, Dubai, and Oman for a while.”
(Bigi watched from backstage.)
“Through all his songs, his message was simple love,” Prince said.
“We will continue to spread his message and help the world.”
Before Michael died, his children regularly wore masks when out and about.
However, their grandmother encouraged the kids to ditch the face coverings after their father’s passing.
So, I wouldn’t say it was difficult, but there was an adjustment period."
Around that time, he began to explore different interests and passions.
In 2013,Entertainment Tonightannounced that Prince would be joining their team as a guest on-air correspondent.
After he landed the role ET, it was clear Prince’s showbiz career was only getting warmed up.
The pop legend’s son appeared in the series finale of the CW reboot of “90210.”
The episode’s director, Harry Sinclair, sang Prince’s praises in an interview with ET.
“He’s very young but he was able to be totally relaxed and do his performance.
It was very unusual and he seemed totally at ease,” Sinclair said (via theDaily Mail).
Even so, Prince wasn’t exactly clamoring to watch his scene.
“I’m probably my own worst critic.
I don’t watch myself,” he told ET.
Evidently, after Prince made his acting debut, he did not go all in on an acting career.
Rather, he pivoted to working behind the camera.
As of 2024, “90210” is his only acting credit.
In 2015, Michael Jackson’s son created his own YouTube channel.
The first video features clips taken while he and his family rode around on ATVs at Jawbone Canyon.
The footage was all shot with a Go-Pro.
He’d upload another video shortly after under the same format, only this time with go-karts.
By 2017, Prince began uploading content centered around his love for motorcycles.
“I’ve always wanted a bike ever since I was little,” he said in the video.
“I think it’s just bada**.
I don’t know what to tell you.”
That same year, Prince was in a motorcycle accident.
After colliding with a truck while on his way to school, he was rushed to the hospital.
Fortunately, he didn’t sustain any serious injuries.
After graduating from high school in 2015, he headed to Loyola Marymount University.
There he met and began dating his girlfriend, Molly Schirmang.
At a charity event in 2018, Prince spoke toPeopleabout his relationship and why it’s so special.
“I think in everything there’s an important balance,” he said.
I’m more aggressive, she’s a little softer."
This balance appeared to work well for the two, as they appear to still be going strong.
In 2022, Prince took toInstagramto celebrate their fifth anniversary.
Alongside a string of photos, Prince wrote a heartfelt caption declaring his love for his college beau.
“5 years together.
Lots of trips, miles, smiles, meals, desserts, and all kinds of adventures in between.
Love you babs.”
After graduating high school, Prince enrolled in Loyola Marymount University, a private university in Los Angeles.
There, he pursued a degree in business administration.
By 2019, the pop star’s son took toInstagramto announce that he was officially a college graduate.
Not only did he earn his bachelor’s degree, but he also graduated with cum laude honors.
In 2018, he uploaded a video of himself ranting about the Star Wars franchise.
This would set the stage for his next YouTube chapter.
“We are very excited to announce that we are starting a movie review channel,” he wrote.
“I’ve tried and it’s embarrassing.”
However, he wasn’t deterred from getting into the music world entirely.
In 2016, he created King’s Son Productions, a collective that produces music videos.
When asked about the name of his production company, Prince broke down the inspiration.
Prince stayed true to his word and continued to work hard for that title.
His resume includes producing videos for artists like Omer Bhatti, Nano, and Sco.
After his father’s death, Prince has stated that he’d keep his legacy alive through charity work.
“It is inspired from Heal the World.
We primarily focus on child abuse, homelessness, and hunger in the Los Angeles area.”
In 2022, the event doubled as a celebration of the 40th anniversary of his dad’s biggest album.
“There’s really nothing like it.”
In 2022, it was announced that Graham King would make a film based on Michael Jackson’s life.
In turn, Prince agreed to participate in its production.
