- ‘I have spoken to friends about this biscuit, they all find it so interesting, even Masterton Archives… There was a BOYES in Masterton in the early days, also one with the other spelling, Boys. Surprised no follow ups! ’
- ‘One could say, that takes the biscuit! Love this article. Prince Alfred, I knew visited New Zealand in 1869, as when I was researching Royal Hotel in Featherston, it has a coat of arms on it, and to have this on a building in the Southern Hemisphere is remarkable, and normally permission from London would have to have been granted to display it, only other hotel in NZ with the Coat of Arms, is the Royal at Naseby.. Perhaps Mrs Boyes took the biscuit for a souvenir, bet she never realised here in 2012 it would hit the news.. Has anyone thought of contacting Windsor Castle Archives about this actual biscuit, no doubt they would find it very interesting.. how is the biscuit stored? Love to know who Mrs Boyes was! ’
