Michael Jackson’s Trio of Children Unite for Uncommon Red Carpet Event Amid Legal Dispute with Grandmother Katherine

It’s a family thing.

Michael Jackson’s three kids, Paris, Prince and Blanket, made a rare appearance together amid the latter’s legal battle with grandma Katherine Jackson over the late pop star’s estate funds.

The siblings posed on the red carpet for the press night performance of “MJ: The Musical” at the Prince Edward Theatre on Wednesday in London.

Prince, 27, and Blanket, 22, looked dapper in black suits while Paris, 25, stunned in a rust-colored dress that featured straps that crossed at the chest.

The trio’s rare outing comes a week after the youngest child of the late King of Pop filed to block his paternal grandmother, Katherine, from using Michael’s estate money to fund her ongoing legal battle.

Blanket — born Bigi Jackson — previously was on board with the mom of 10 when they went up against the executors of his dad’s estate.

However, Blanket switched gears after a judge sided with the executors over using the “Billie Jean” singer’s money for an undisclosed business deal — believed to be the $600 million catalog deal with Sony.

After Katherine decided to appeal that decision, Blanket backed out as he reportedly believed she wouldn’t win.

Katherine, 93, submitted a response on March 20, explaining that her late son’s estate executors have plenty of cash to support her $500,00 worth of legal fees — and consequently should.

“… it seems clear to [Katherine] that the Executors are holding all of the assets in the Estate in order to keep control over them, and to avoid the more liberal distribution requirements of the Trust,” her complaint reads, according to People.

The docs also claim “the Executors cannot in good faith contend that the Estate does not have sufficient available funds to allow the Trust to make the requested payment” and that “hundreds of millions of dollars” would still be available to the estate’s beneficiaries if Katherine’s legal expenses were covered.

On March 21, Michael’s estate claimed in a court filing that Katherine had received over $55 million since the Grammy winner’s 2009 death and had plenty of funds to cover her own legal fees, per TMZ.

They alleged the matriarch received over $33 million in cash from a $160,000-a-month allowance.

Bigi is Michael’s youngest son, arriving via surrogate in 2002 to join older siblings Prince and Paris, whom the late music icon welcomed with ex-wife Debbie Rowe.
