We evaluate the electromagnetic $Xi_c gamma rightarrowXi_c^prime$ transition on 2+1 flavor lattices corresponding to a pion mass of $sim 156$ MeV. We extract the magnetic Sachs and Pauli form factors which give the $Xi_c$-$Xi_c^prime$ transition magnetic moment and the decay rates of $Xi_c^prime$ baryons. We did not find a signal for the magnetic form factor of the neutral transition $Xi_c^0 gamma rightarrowXi_c^{prime 0}$, which is suppressed by the U-spin flavor symmetry. As a byproduct, we extract the magnetic form factors and the magnetic moments of $Xi_c$ and $Xi_c^prime$ baryons, which give an insight to the dynamics of $u/d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks having masses at different scales.
