There's been a lot of dispute whether Michael Jackson really bleached his skin or he was just a vitiligo sufferer who's disease took a turn for the worse.
Michael has always claimed that it has been the disease that was responsible for his color change, rising a lot of criticism and drawing a lot of unwanted attention towards him and his family.Michael has 3 children: Prince, 13, Paris, 12, and Blanket, 8.
Recently I came across a few pictures of Michael's older son, Prince, that apparently has inherited his father's disease. The boy, aged 13 shows a depigmentation under his arm, a common place for vitiligo spots to occur. If indeed the boy suffers from vitiligo, this puts two rumors to rest: that Prince isn't really Michael's son and that Michael bleached his skin because of his obsession to become white.
Vitiligozone has recently published an article on the frequency of vitiligo among siblings. The study, published in the Pigment cell research magazine and concluded that "the frequency of vitiligo among siblings is 6.1% which is about 18 times higher then the usual population frequency, suggesting a major genetic component in the disease."

I think that, If the recent photos of Prince Michael, apparently show that he has inherited his fater's disease, then Michael Jackson is his nature parent and that Michael did not bleach his skin, therefore, Michael's children can say, "There are a few negative statements about our father that can be eaten by all those who wanted to believe these rumors. In time there will be other negative statements, which will be removed from under our father's name,(Time will tell.)!"
I started getting white spots in certain areas of my body over a year ago. I just recently been diagnosed as having vitvligo.Before I knew what it was i would jokingly say I have the Michael Jackson disease.Low and behold.(I am a big MJ fan).
