does the Anglican Church frown upon circumcision? I thought that there were hygienic reasons for it aside from the religious ones....like not having to wash under fat rolls..
No, I think it's more rare that that the House of Windsor would still get circumsized. It's very unusual in Europe unless you are a Jew (or crypto-Jew) or Muslim.
Prince Charles' circumcision by a Rabbi was mentioned in the book "Uriel's Machine". The authors' source was a Rabbi Malka who had a website at one point. The book was published in 1999 so the rabbi's site would have been on the "earlier" Internet. I couldn't find any direct reference when I looked so I'm guessing that the site no longer exists. Maybe someone can find it archived somewhere?
Rabbi Malka mentions the rabbi who actually performed the rite was Jacob Snowman and I see that his name shows up on other links.
Only Hearsay and rumor. I've read lots of claims but it's almost impossible to substantiate. 'Still worth researching though.
I mention it mainly to see if anyone else can share research to definitively debunk or validate.

This seems to substantiate that at least Charles was circumcised by a rabbi and that it's a long standing tradition.
