Remember Prince Michael Jackson II - also known as Blanket - who was famously dangled from a balcony by his dad, Michael Jackson, in one of the late pop singer's (many) controversial moments? Well, get ready to feel super old, as that baby has now just turned 16.

His sister Paris took to Instagram to wish her fairly secretive baby brother a sweet 16th, sharing a set of rare family snaps of Blanket through the ages.

In her posts, Paris said she wouldn't post too many pictures in a bid to respect his privacy, but clearly couldn't help gushing with pride over her now-pretty-grown-up brother.

"Happy birthday honey I love you," she said, captioning another photo with:" MY LIL MAN IS 16!!!!!!"

There were also several throwback snaps of Blanket, who is the youngest son of the Michael Jackson clan, including some adorable baby photos and one of him standing outside with a paper hat on his head.

Despite a high profile start to life, Blanket has chosen to remain fairly elusive when it comes to the limelight, unlike the rest of his famous family.

According to People, Blanket has only been photographed in public a few times since his dad's death in 2009 and now goes by the name of BG or Bigi.

Paris and Prince Michael Jr share the same mother, Debbie Rowe, whereas Blanket's maternal parentage is still unknown. It's understood that Michael Jackson's third kid was conceived via a surrogate, whose identity has remained private ever since Blanket was conceived.

But there's no denying the love shared between the three siblings. Just a few months ago, Paris also posted a Christmas photo of her and her siblings. They were also joined by Omer Bhatti, who has been a friend of theirs since birth.

And while Blanket may have stayed schtum, sister Paris recently opened up about her relationship with her dad, and her theories about how he died, in a big interview with Rolling Stone.

Among other theories, Paris blames her dad's death on the record label AEG live, which organised his comeback 'This Is It' tour and, in her eyes, worked him to death. She also blames Dr. Conrad Murray, his personal doctor.

She said he was exhausted all the time."I'd tell him, let's take a nap," she told Rolling Stone.

"Because he looked tired. We'd be in school, meaning downstairs in the living room, and we'd see dust falling from the ceiling and hear stomping sounds because he was rehearsing upstairs."

Her family lost a wrongful-death suit against the firm, with the jury deciding that Michael Jackson was responsible for his own death.

But Paris said: "AEG Live does not treat their performers right. They drain them dry and work them to death."
