Michael Jackson’s son, Prince Jackson, made an exception by attending a gathering to memorialize his late father. While some individuals believed the likeness between the two was striking, others praised Prince for paying honor to his father.

On March 8, 2025, Prince Jackson made a rare public appearance at the Sydney premiere of “MJ The Musical” in Sydney, Australia. His appearance at the Lyric Theatre in Star City prompted netizens to compare him to his late father, Michael Jackson.

Prince wore a blue pinstriped suit with a white shirt, a purple tie, and formal shoes to the event honoring his father. The late singer’s kid grinned as he posed on the red carpet.

With his characteristic ponytail on show, his appearance elicited mixed reviews from netizens. When someone noticed the striking resemblance between Prince and Michael, they exclaimed, “He looks just like him!”

Upon viewing a different photo of Michael’s child, another individual expressed a similar sentiment, stating that the father and son bore a striking resemblance to each other. A Facebook commenter commented on one appealing aspect of Prince, saying, “He’s constantly smiling. Handsome.”

Meanwhile, rather than criticizing Prince’s appearance, another individual expressed admiration. They wrote, “I’m very proud of Prince for supporting this amazing show! His father’s legacy continues to flourish.”

By attending the event, Prince not only demonstrated his support for “MJ The Musical,” but also emphasized his strong link to his father’s legacy, demonstrating that Michael’s impact lives on through him.
