→Investigation: George was still king in 1948
Although this long standing legend cannot be proved to be true, it was generally believed to be true. It is probable therefore, that many parents had their sons circumcised because the royal family was believed to do it.
Non-therapeutic circumcision of children was still a recognised medical practice in 1948 when Prince Charles was born. There is some evidence that Prince Charles was non-ritually circumcised in 1948 by Dr [[Jacob Snowman]], a Jewish [[mohel]], not by any royal tradition, but by order of his mothergrandfather, Queen ElizabethKing George, who is was the head of the Anglican Church.
