Michael Jackson's son has recalled his childhood in a rare interview - and how he perceived his dad's global stardom.
Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. - who alternates between the names Mike and Prince - is the oldest of the King of Pop's three children at 24.
He has a younger sister, Paris, 22, and a brother Prince Michael Jackson II, 19 - who goes by Bigi and was called Blanket by his dad.
Michael died aged 50 in 2009, when Prince was just 12 years old.
Now, Prince has told of how he viewed his dad's fame, revealing to FOX Soul that he saw superfans fainting over him at a concert.
He said there was a "single a-ha moment" when he knew his dad was a megastar, but there were "little seeds growing up and getting older."
"I saw that people would follow us around," he said, "people would just want to reach out and touch my dad.
"But it was really when I was around 10 or 11, when I was watching a video of my father performing...he was performing outside, and you see this sea of people.
"There were people fainting in the audience, and I asked my dad, 'Why are people fainting? I see you every day and I don't faint.'
"That had that resonation that people really loved my father."
And asked what lessons his dad imparted that he still holds dear, Prince told that it was his attitude toward learning and knowledge.
"You know, there are so many nuggets there that are just so close to my heart that I feel like they're applicable at all times," he explained.
"But the one that is my guiding principle is that you never stop learning. I graduated, and that doesn't mean that I stopped learning.
"And my father also would say something along the lines of, 'The minute that you stop learning is the minute that you're going to start dying'."
Prince has carried these lessons with him, graduating in 2019 cum laude from Loyola Marymount University with a business degree.
Prince celebrated his graduation with younger brother Bigi, who recently bought his own home.
Paris, meanwhile, has had a hugely successful modelling career.
