Being the eldest child tends to come with a lot of responsibility and Prince Jackson knows this firsthand. The eldest of Michael Jackson’s three kids revealed to People, “[B]ecause I’m the oldest, my father would always tell me I have to make sure the group is taken care of, and that I have to kind of be the leader and lead by example.” However, Prince admits he leaned on his two siblings, Paris and Blanket “Bigi” Jackson after the “Thriller” singer died. To Prince, it might have seemed like he slacked off on his eldest sibling duties, but to Blanket, Prince was the one he looked up to the most.

It’s typical for younger siblings to admire their older siblings, even in one of the most famous families — the Jacksons. In 2019, a family insider shared with Hollywood Life that Bigi deeply respects his older brother, Prince. They said, “Blanket looks up to Prince so much. Prince has really taken his brother under his wing and is his main role model. Prince really protects his brother as they have a real close bond. They go through life as a team.” At the time, Prince attended Loyola Marymount, which wasn’t too far from home and, more importantly, not too far from Bigi. The insider shared, “Being home allows him to look after Blanket, plus, they’re always hanging out.” So, no matter what life throws at the brothers, they won’t let anything come between them.
