Scion is last of famous Victorian (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprig

'scion' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'last of famous victorian' is the wordplay.
'last of' suggests the final letters.
'victorian' becomes 'prig' (both can mean a prudish person).
The last letter of 'famous' is 's'.
's'+'prig'='SPRIG'

'is' is the link.

(Other definitions for sprig that I've seen before include "A tack; a little shoot" , "Small stem taken from a bush or plant" , "Small stem with leaves or flowers" , "Small spray of leaves or flowers" , "Young family member; small stem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
