The star passed away in 2009 at the age of 50, when Prince – whose given name is Michael Joseph Jackson Jr - was 12.
In a recent interview with FOX Soul, Prince spoke about his famous father, and admitted that he would switch between using the names "Prince" and "Mike" while he was at school.

"Sometimes 'Mike' is nice for anonymity, but I also take a lot of pride in that because it's obviously my father's name," he said. "It was just easier for me to say 'Mike' instead of 'Prince.' I just switch it."

He also spoke about the realisation that his father was a global icon. "It's really more like there was little seeds, as I was growing up and getting older, and I saw that people would follow us around, people would just want to reach out and touch my dad," he said.

Prince said reality really hit home when he was about ten and he saw a video of one of his dad's concerts.
"He was performing outside and you just see this sea of people, and there's people fainting in the audience," he said. "I asked my dad I'm like, 'Why were they fainting? I see you every day and I don't faint.'" That's when he had a realisation "that people really loved my father".
