Curse of being Michael Jackson's child - from heroin addiction to 'little talent to offer' and war with grandmother over money


In the 15 years since the King Of Pop's passing, Prince, 27, Paris, 26, and Bigi, 22, have all faced the scrutiny of growing up in the public eye.

Blanket - born Prince Michael Jackson II - was dangled over a balcony at Berlin's Adlon Hotel in 2002 at the tender age of nine months as the singer got 'caught up in the moment' as he waved to fans.
