First Female Beefeater Moira Cameron Harassed at Tower of London

Two male beefeaters at the Tower of London have been suspended for allegedly bullying their female colleague, Moira Cameron and a third is subject to an internal investigation over alleged harassment.

Cameron, 44, a veteran of long military service - was the first female protector of the Crown Jewels, famously known as Beefeaters of the Tower of London. Cameron joined the all-male ranks of the Tower's yeoman warders two years ago becoming the first female yeoman warder in the Tower's 1,000-year history.

But Cameron became the victim of a 'hate campaign' from some of her resentful male colleagues at the notorious Tower of London, where three English queens were executed centuries ago.

Her uniform has been defaced and that she has received nasty notes in her locker in the Tower,The Sun reported, while one suspect has been cautioned by police for defacing Cameron's entry in the online encyclopedia Wikipedia.

A Tower spokeswoman said in a statement: "We can confirm three yeoman warders are under investigation in response to allegations of harassment

Last night a Tower source said: "Moira's very upset, but relieved the alleged bullying and harassment has been by only a small minority."

The Tower has a long history of bloodshed, torture and treachery. Between 1388 and 1747, the Tower was a place of execution, where more than 130 men and women were killed by beheading.

Three queens Catherine Howard, Lady Jane Grey and Anne Boleyn were also executed at the Tower. Anne Boleyn' crime was her failure to produce a male heir for Henry VIII. Falsely accused of adultery, she was executed in 1536. 19-year-old Catherine Howard was Henry's fourth wife. Accused of of adultery, she was executed with her two lovers.
