Malcolm X – Qubilah Shabazz

Qubilah Shabazz, one of the six daughters of civil rights leader Malcolm X, was never known for exemplary behavior from a young age, likely due to the severe trauma she experienced—at just 4 years old, she witnessed her father's assassination.

24 (1).jpg @Getty Images North America

In 2010, he was arrested for marijuana possession with the intent to sell, as The Los Angeles Times reported, which was a far cry from the polished world of high fashion his father represents. Despite his legal troubles, Richard continues to pursue his music career, although his relationship with Tommy Hilfiger has been strained at times due to these controversies.

Al Gore – Al Gore III

Al Gore III, son of former Vice President Al Gore, has faced many troubles despite his father’s political legacy. In 2007, he was arrested after being pulled over for speeding. Police found marijuana in his possession, adding to his list of previous run-ins with the law.

The actress fought this battle for a long time but now, she says she feels she can no longer help her son. Over the years, Leakes has become less responsive to Bryson's issues, admitting, “He's 33 years old, he's an adult. He has three children—three beautiful children—that I adore. He has a wife. As a mother, I would never wash my hands of my child, right? But I feel like I've become numb to it because it's been going on for so many years.”

Madonna's journey with her son Rocco, their child with Guy Ritchie, has been far from easy. In 2016, Rocco simply ran away from home, as reported by the Daily Mail. However, he didn't go just anywhere; he moved in with his father, who was already divorced from Madonna at the time.

Princess Grace of Monaco – Princess Stéphanie

Princess Stéphanie, the daughter of Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III, had all chances to become Monaco's next big style icon, following in her glamorous mom's footsteps. But she had another plans for her life! By the time she hit 18, Stéphanie adored wild parties, often spotted with boyfriends who definitely didn’t fit the royal mold.

4 (8).jpg @Bernard CHARLON/Getty Images

Fast forward to 2020, and his decision to "Megxit" with his wife, Meghan Markle, sent shockwaves through the British monarchy. While his older brother, Prince William, played by the royal rules, Harry’s been busy carving out his own path—and it’s been anything but ordinary!

10 (2).jpg @getty/hellomagazine.com
