Michael Jackson‘s three children won’t be appearing in the Jackson family’s upcoming A&E reality show — despite reports to the contrary.

It had been claimed that Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7, would feature on The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, which is tentatively set to air in December.

Reports also claimed that eldest sister Rebbie, 59, who has refused to be in the series, felt Michael — who died June 25 and was fiercely protective of his children’s privacy — “would spin in his grave if he knew his kids would be on this show,” a source told Us Weekly magazine.

But A&E insists the kids won’t be exposed to the TV cameras.

“To our knowledge it isn’t true,” said a spokesman for the network.

Jackson patriarch Katherine — who is the legal guardian of  the King of Pop’s three kids — has also vowed not to allow her grandchildren appear on the show.

“Katherine Jackson says Michael Jackson’s kids will not appear on any TV reality show in her lifetime,” a source said. “Michael would never want his kids to appear on TV, much less on a reality show.

“She says her son went to great lengths to protect the kids from TV cameras, often shielding them with masks.

“Katherine, who is the legal guardian of the kids and ultimately makes the decision, tells us it will NOT happen.”
