Until now, only sketchy details have been available about the Jackson children, but today, after interviewing several sources close to the Jackson family,The Mail on Sunday has reveal the first detailed picture of their lives.
Within the family, Prince and Paris are now seen as the great hope of carrying on the Jackson entertainment dynasty. There is even talk in Hollywood that they are considering an offer to appear in their own TV reality show.
Given the bizarre nature of their upbringing – they often stumbled upon their father passed out on the bathroom floor or in his bedroom due to his intake of drugs
Prince and Paris appear to be surprisingly normal. But Blanket is a seriously withdrawn child.'He is shy, speaks very little and seems to be more shell-shocked than his siblings,' said a family acquaintance
When Michael was alive, the children were educated at home. But now the two older ones attend Buckley School – one of the oldest co-educational day schools in Los Angeles, with fees of $33,500 (£21,000) a year. The Jackson children travel to and from the private school in a phalanx of four-wheel-drive vehicles with their bodyguards. Paris plays on the Buckley flag football team – its only female member – and Prince sings in school performances.
'They're down-to-earth kids, not full of themselves, not pretentious,' says Diane Dimond
The children live with their grandmother Katherine in a sprawling, six-bedroom mansion set in 14 acres.
Katherine, 81, managed to wrest guardianship of the children when Michael died in June 2009 after a bitter battle that pitted one branch of the Jackson family against the other. At stake was the children's $300 million (£190 million) trust fund, plus their enormous potential future earnings on the stage as the rightful heirs to the Jackson dynasty.

One faction, made up of siblings Randy, Tito and Janet, argued that the children should be kept away from Katherine and her physically abusive husband Joe and, instead, be placed in the more stable care of Michael's eldest sister Rebbie.
But a second faction, including siblings Jackie, Jermaine and LaToya, was set against giving the children to Rebbie, in part because her husband, Nathaniel, had publicly accused Michael of being a child molester.
When Michael was alive, the children were kept secluded from the world.
'Michael fired Grace for unknown reasons in 2008, but after he died she turned up again at the Calabasas mansion and resumed child-caring.
'However, the children had taken a strong dislike to Grace.
'The older boy, Prince, went to his grandmother and told her that he and Paris didn't want Grace around any more. In their view, Grace belonged to the inner circle who weren't able to halt Michael's drug habit which led to his demise.'
Three months after Michael's death, Katherine fired Grace and became the sole adult authority over the children. However, she is sometimes forced to share her parental role with her husband, Joe, who spends part of the year in Las Vegas but has the run of the Calabasas mansion when he is in California.
'Now Katherine gets $60,000 [£38,000] a month from the executors of Michael's estate and gives some of that money to Joe. Joe's relationship with the kids is better than you might expect. Prince and Paris are aware that their grandfather often beat their father before sending him on stage. But they don't seem to mind having him around.'
Paris recently found herself the victim of a cyber-bully when a Twitter follower began taunting her that Michael was not her biological father. She went to the police, but did not stop tweeting. In one tweet, she boasted about her '100% Jackson blood', in another she referred to herself as a 'natural Jackson' who has the love and support of her 'beloved gramma and cousins'.
Yet despite the damage they suffered from their father's behaviour in their formative years, it seems the children have never undergone psychotherapy.
'Over the almost 40 years I knew Michael he grew stranger and scarier,' said Theresa Gonsalves, 53, who met Jackson when they were teenagers and watched the way he raised his children.
'I was probably the only person in the world who wasn't shocked when I saw photos of Michael dangling his son Blanket from the balcony of that Berlin hotel [in 2002]. I had seen Michael flirting with his own death, including the time he showed me how he could hang by one arm from the narrow railing of the balcony of his penthouse apartment in New York.
'When I last saw him backstage at the American Music Awards show in 2003, I was shocked by his appearance. He looked like death. His eyes were sunken in his head like a corpse and it was obvious he had been crying.
'Prince and Paris were with him and they seemed to be perfectly normal children, running around and playing, laughing and squealing. They didn't have veils over their faces and they seemed to have a normal relationship with their father.
'But to me it was obvious that all the weirdness they grew up with must have had a negative influence on them. Michael had no childhood. He was regimented and made to work incredibly hard to make money. His father Joe was a very scary man and was absolutely abusive. Nobody taught Michael right from wrong – he was just beaten when he didn't do exactly what Joe wanted.
'When he had children of his own, he wanted just the opposite of his childhood. So he let them run wild and made their lives like a long visit to Disneyland.
'He wanted more than anything for them to have the joy and freedom he was denied – they could do more or less anything. But now that they are living with their grandmother, their lives are far more structured and their freedom curtailed.
'Michael's death has brought a new-found popularity to the Jacksons and the family is capitalising on every bit of it.
'But if the media starts to lose interest, the family will come down hard on the children to help the Jacksons recapture the old magic.'
