According to Duncan Larcombe, a journalist and author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story, shellshocked Harry will be feeling "helpless" and like a "duck out of water" as he finds his feet in a new city. 

The prince could even be seen as Meghan's "plus one", rather than a man with his own role. 

Speaking to Closer, Duncan added that Harry might be feeling "helpless" not being able to do more for his family as they try to boost the nation's morale during the coronavirus lockdown.

He said: "Harry didn't go to university and he hasn't had much work experience other than being in the army and charity work.

"Being in Hollywood is likely to make him feel like a duck out of water, as it will be tricky for him to find a suitable role."

He added: "I suspect he will be missing home more than ever and feeling a bit helpless,'referring to the efforts other members of the British royal family have been making to raise morale amidst the coronavirus pandemic."
