Prince Jackson Promotes His Father’s Jackets
14-year-old Prince Jackson, the eldest child of the King of Pop, appeared yesterday at a press conference in the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, alongside Jackie, Tito, and Marlon Jackson, to promote his father’s legendary jackets—related to the trailer videos and the Beat It era—for sale. At the press conference, the Jackson brothers signed a number of the jackets.
Prince, who is the most famous grandson in the Jackson family, told Conan during the conference that although he can’t dance and sing like his father, he is interested in acting in film and television. In his previous interviews, he had said he is interested in producing and directing.
Prince, who is exactly the same height as his father at this age (175 cm), attended the conference at the invitation of his uncles—who are former members of the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons—and who had asked him to support these jackets. It is not believed that he was paid.
None of these items has Prince’s name, signature, or photo on it. These jackets, which have been on sale since yesterday on Amazon, belong to the production line of the Jackson 5 clothing collection (J5) that was launched by the brothers after Michael’s death.
Prince says these jackets introduce Michael Jackson’s style and fashion to a new generation.
He hopes that next month he will travel with his uncles to Japan to hold a charity concert for the victims of the earthquake. The plan is for Prince to announce his uncles’ presence on stage.
Perry Sanders, the lawyer for Katherine Jackson, says that although Prince will inherit millions of dollars from his father’s fortune, he is determined to earn his own money.
He is careful about what proposals he accepts or rejects along the way, in order to preserve his image as the eldest child of the King of Pop.
The King of Pop Foundation has approved the sale of these jackets. Each jacket is sold for $2,350. The jackets are 100% cow leather and are designed exactly like the originals. Their designer is Marc Laurent, who designed these two red jackets for Michael in 1983.
Prince says these jackets are very beautiful to wear at special events.
