Michael Jackson’s children are “doing wonderfully with their grandmother guardian”, a judge has said.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff was “very pleased” with a probate investigator’s report on how the three children are adjusting.
The pop legend died aged 50 in June. His death was ruled to be homicide caused by a powerful anaesthetic. His children, Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II (known as Blanket), 7, have been in the care of Katherine Jackson since their father’s death. Jackson’s estate is paying a stipend of $60,000 (£37,600) per month to care for and protect the youngsters. Mrs Jackson was appointed by Judge Beckloff as the children’s permanent guardian in August, and he had asked for an update on their conditions.
In his 2002 will, Michael Jackson designated his mother as his choice to care for his children if he died. The judge sealed the report on the children and said he saw no need to get future updates.
