A leading mohel has offered to circumcise Prince George — in keeping with a Royal Family tradition.
Dr Joseph Spitzer, a GP and the head of the Initiation Society, is willing to carry out the procedure should the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge decide to maintain the practice common among royals since the 19th century.
The Stamford Hill-based doctor, who has been a mohel for more than 30 years and circumcised “thousands” of baby boys, said: “It’s up to the parents if they want to have him circumcised. If they do decide to have it done, I’d be delighted to be of service.”
Speculation continues as to whether Prince George will indeed be circumcised. His grandfather, Prince Charles, was circumcised by Rabbi Jacob Snowman, a leading mohel, at Buckingham Palace in 1948.
