Between 1868 and 1892 he made only six speeches and did not speak on any particular issue except in favour of a bill for the preservation of seabirds earning him the nickname Gull's Friend. He was considered to be the basis for the character "Mr Brauncepath" in Lothair the novel by Benjamin Disraeli. He was honoured with the Order of St. Lazarus of Belgium in 1879. Sykes became a close friend of Edward VII as Prince of Wales. The Prince was entertained in great splendour at Brantingham Thorpe Sykes' country house in Yorkshire during the Doncaster Races and at his London home in Berkeley Square. The Prince exploited his friend and subjected him to humiliations for example on one occasion poured a decanter of brandy over his head. However Sykes's lavish entertainment of the Marlborough House Set soon put a strain on his finances. Nearly bankrupted in 1890 Sykes was forced to sell both Brantingham Thorpe and his London home. At a general election two years later he lost his parliamentary seat. Despite this the Prince of Wales never forgot his devoted friend and after Sykes' death in 1898 he installed a tablet to his memory at Westminster Abbey. London: Vanity Fair, 1874. unknown
