Prince Harry has been given a legal fee reduction as the Government was punished for a delay in providing key documents.
The Duke of Sussex has received a 10 percent discount on the legal costs from his court battle with the Home Office.
The reduction is a result of the judge penalising the Government over the delay in providing the documents.
The judge, Sir Peter Lane, refused Harry permission to appeal the decision, according to the Times.

However, the royal’s legal team are expected to take the case to the Court of Appeal.
A Home Office spokesperson said: “While we are pleased with the decision of the Court to refuse permission to appeal, it would be inappropriate to comment further on ongoing legal proceedings.”
In February, Harry suffered defeat in his High Court battle with the Home Office.
The Duke of Sussex was fighting a 2020 decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of protection when in the UK.

The court found there had not been any unlawfulness in reaching the decision of February 28 2020 and that any departure from policy was justified.
The court has also found that there has been no unlawfulness on the part of Ravec in respect of its arrangements for Prince Harry’s visits to the UK following the 2020 decision.
The Duke of Sussex had challenged the Home Office over his right to automatic police protection in the UK after he was stripped of taxpayer-funded security.
Harry had been told that he would no longer receive the “same degree” of protection when in the UK from 2020.

The decision meant the level of Prince Harry’s taxpayer-funded personal security will not change when he travels to the country in the future.

Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014 when he was still a working member of the Royal Family.
