Royal grant treated with disdain (10)
I believe the answer is:
arrogantly
'with disdain' is the definition.
'royal grant treated' is the wordplay.
'treated' indicates an anagram.
'royal'+'grant'='royalgrant'
'royalgrant' anagrammed gives 'ARROGANTLY'.
(Another definition for arrogantly that I've seen is " with haughtiness".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
