George Osborne has discovered he too could be Jewish after a Beth Din ruled his brother did not need to complete a conversion to marry his American fiancée.
The former chancellor of the exchequer was told by Theo Osborne, his youngest brother who works as an investment manager, that a rabbinical court had ruled he was Jewish after uncovering documents that proved his grandmother had been member of a synagogue in Budapest.
The younger Mr Osborne, 33, was going through a conversion to marry Justine Fisher in an Orthodox ceremony, but discovered the paperwork including Hungarian birth certificates that proved the maternal family’s Jewish origins.
The couple were married in what the Daily Telegraph said was an Orthodox ceremony last weekend in the Wormsley estate in Buckinghamshire.
