Prince Michael Jackson II aka "Blanket" is the third and youngest son of the late Michael Jackson. Jackson was born via a surrogate whose identity was never disclosed. Blanket is the brother of Prince Michael and Paris Jackson, who were raised by Debbie Rowe, Jackson's ex-wife. Jackson went to extraordinary lengths to shield his children from the public, often having them wear masks or hoodies and raising them in Bahrain on the Persian Gulf.http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,530652,00.html?test=latestnews
According to reports from TMZ, "Blanket" was never adopted by his father.http://www.tvguide.com/News/Michael-Jackson-Estate-1007540.aspx Jackson's mother Katherine petitioned to be his guardian, and was given the position on a temporary basis.
