Boston royal family open new Kensington Palace

BOSTON SAW ITS BIGGEST RENOVATION IN HISTORY this weekend when a new castle was built for King Cheeky, Queen Nala, their family and servants. The castle is the biggest Toyland has ever seen, far bigger than the previous best castle in Toyland, Smallvania Castle. King Cheeky called Sunday, 'the best day in Boston's history'.

The cardboard walls extend almost the full width of Boston, overseeing the whole country, like palaces in Florence, Italy. It is the first residence in Toyland to have real-life working electric lighting, through the bedside lamp, and features realistic flowers for decoration. King Cheeky is said to have been delighted and 'a tad overexcited'. It has long been known how upset he was over losing his original castle and a substantial part of his kingdom (now Smallvania) to Chris and Spurry last August. Boston is very much in favour with Emily at the moment, though, as she was reported to have said last week that 'Boston is better than Smallvania. It always has been.'

Palace insiders say that the King of Boston may even be considering invading Smallvania and regaining what was taken from him. King Chris, his face green with envy, only commented that, 'There was no Toyland Express article when I built my new castle this summer!' That was because the editor was busy, your royal highness.

When asked what she thought of Boston's new palace, one resident gave a big smile and said, 'Oh! It makes me feel so patriotic! And I mean it's like it's not like the royal family can see everything in Boston. Most importantly, they cannot see into my apartment because its directly below! My Daddy also says it will work wonders for local house prices!

'Also my boyfriend got a job as the palace receptionist slash guard!' she added, forgetting to give her name.

The new palace receptionist / guard is White Teddy.

Spurry visited the centre of the Ancient Roman Empire, seeing the Colosseum. Onlookers said the Queen had a glint in her eye whenever anybody mentioned an Empire. Spurry famously took control of half of Toyland with King Chris, removing King Cheeky from rule of the small toys.

In Amsterdam, Spurry enjoyed the large quantity of bagels on offer. Spurry is widely known to love bagels, many attributing this to her Jewish faith.

In Bruges, Belgium, Spurry bought this giant chocolate teddy because it reminded her of her 'sweetheart Chris', whom she missed dearly.


It remains to be seen how much Spurry's travels will influence her ruling style.
