Londoners got a glimpse of Michael Jackson as he took a trip to Harrods today.

Fresh from hanging out with ex-Busted man James Bourne, Jacko thought he'd head to the high street and do a little shopping.

The pop icon went to the store, owned by Fulham chairman Mohammed Al-Fayed, with his two children Prince Michael and Paris, who both sported veils over their heads.

Jackson is currently in London recording for the Hurricane Katrina relief single, and has been to see Billy Elliot and to tourist hotspot Madame Tussauds.

Currently staying at the Dorchester Hotel, Jackson checked himself in when he arrived as Sir William Marshal, according to the Sun.

The name is that of a British knight and was picked to hide his identity: "William Marshal appealed to him because he's such a huge fan of British aristocracy," said the paper's source.

"He picked the name himself partly as a tribute and partly to divert attention from himself. He thinks that Lords and Ladies stay at the Dorchester all the time."

Jackson's relief single is called From the Bottom of My Heart.
