his Sèvres, and his "younger Court", might have figured at once in the World as a social "Celebrity at Home". Why not "Mr. Oscar Clayton in Harley Street"?" In 1890 a portrait of Clayton was painted by Frederick Goodall and exhibited at the Royal Academy. Now in the Hunterian Gallery in Glasgow, this was described in the art journal The Academy: In his diary for 30 November 1882, the day Clayton was knighted, Lewis Harcourt wrote "Several people went down on the same train to be knighted, among them Oscar Clayton, who is nominally doctor, but really "pimp" to the Prince of Wales". In a book of memoirs published in 1909, the former actress Lady Bancroft wrote – Clayton died on 27 January 1892. After the probate of his Will, it was found that he had left more than £150,000, which was a substantial fortune in the 1890s, . Honours After being appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath and of that of St Michael and St George, and also a Deputy Lieutenant for Middlesex, Clayton was knighted on 30 November 1882. The same year, the University of Erlangen awarded him the degree of Doctor of Medicine. He was also a Knight of the Order of Leopold of Belgium.
