Prince Michael Jackson Heads to Berlin to Sell His Father’s Handwriting
14-year-old Prince Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson’s eldest child, has taken his first independent step. People magazine says that today he will walk the red carpet at an event and will take part in an auction of handwritten lyrics from his famous father—text from the song Bad.
The auction will be held on November 10 in Berlin, Germany, in support of the foundation backed by his father that helps disadvantaged children, and all proceeds will be donated to the Tribute to Bambi foundation. The organization works in Germany for poor children.
A spokesperson for the auction said that at the event, Prince will unveil his father’s handwritten notes on stage, and children supported by the foundation will be there with him.
It has been reported that Prince will attend the event with his team but without any members of the Jackson family. One source says he won’t travel alone, but that family members will not be with him.
In 2005, when Prince was 5 years old, he went to Germany with his father and his 4-year-old sister, Prince, and his few-month-old brother, Blanket, for a similar reason. On that day, Michael’s flashy jacket was put up for auction. In 2009, a signed guitar by Michael was also sold at the same auction.
Bids for the handwritten notes will be accepted from today until November 10 at united charity.
A source close to the auction said they expect the handwriting to sell for a high price.
Prince wrote on Twitter that he is now heading to Berlin, though he personally did not say anything about the goal of the trip.
