A new look for the Beefeaters
For the first time in seventy years, the Tower of London’s Yeoman Warders, or ‘Beefeaters’ as they’re commonly known due to the medieval guards’ meat-eating habits, now have brand-new uniforms, bearing the cypher of King Charles III.
The first Yeoman Warders were recruited to guard the Tower of London in 1485, and have worn every sovereign’s initials embroidered on their uniform since the reignduties, including guarding the monarch himself on occasion.
