The 12-year-old lad was reportedly stood nearby when the family’s personal doctor frantically tried to save the star, according to the family’s biographer Stacy Brown.
He said: “The horror of it all is Prince thought his dad was just being his dad and clowning, but it was real and he watched as they worked on him. Prince was stunned – in a trance – just watching.
“There was no movement, just looking around and not really processing what was really happening.”
A family insider added: “The three children had been taken to another room by their nannies but they thought their dad was just fooling around.
“He often played dead and would then jump up and surprise them, so they thought he was just having a bit of fun. But when they saw the emergency trucks arrive, that really shook them.
“The kids were terrified and started crying and howling for their dad.”
It is claimed the children were with their grandmother Katherine, 79, in a hospital waiting room when they were later told he had died.
Michael’s manager Frank DiLeo said it was the “single most painful moment” of his life telling the children he had died.
Reports claim the Jackson family are keen for the children to stay with Michael’s mother Katherine, 79, however the eldest two children’s mother Debbie Rowe could file for custody.
