While Prince still struggles to come to terms with his father's death his 11-year-old sister Paris is dealing with her grief by sleeping with a teddy bear her dad gave her.

Michael's brother Jermaine said: "Paris sleeps with a teddy bear with Michael's scent on - it's so cute. It's a little doll that he gave her and she sleeps holding it every night."

Prince and Paris are also helping their younger brother, seven-year-old Prince Michael II, known as 'Blanket', come to terms with the loss of their beloved father.

Jermaine added: "I think 'Blanket' understands his dad has passed because of the ceremony we had. Prince and Paris are very bright and they have tried to explain it to him. And there is therapist with them to get through this time as well."

Meanwhile, lawyers handling Michael's estate are seeking a court-ordered allowance for his three children and mother Katherine.

A lawyer representing the temporary executors of his estate asked a judge to approve the allowance and the requests will be considered on August 3.
