The King of Pop famously didn't show his kids' faces when they were younger
Michael Jackson's son Prince has explained why his dad always used to cover their faces growing up.
The King of Pop - who passed away in 2009 - left behind three children who tend to steer away from the spotlight.
He had his first two children; Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., 27, known as 'Prince,' and Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, 26, with his second wife, Debbie Rowe, a dermatology nurse.
Whilst his third child, Prince Michael Jackson II, 22, known as 'Blanket' and later as 'Bigi', was conceived through a surrogate.
The identity of Bigi's mother has never been publicly disclosed.
When they were younger, Jackson would often cover his children's faces in public and his eldest has revealed why in an interview with the Los Angeles Times in 2016.
Prince said: “My dad spoke to me like an adult.
“He told us the reason for the masks was he wanted us to have our own life without him.
“I don't think I ever thought about if other kids lived like that when I was younger.
“But once I knew who he was, I realised it wasn’t normal.
“I remember being in Disneyland and I went to the window and there were all these fans waving and taking pictures of me.
“I thought it was normal, so I just waved back.
“You could say my whole life has been unconventional.
