What is the alleged false reason behind Prince Harry's desperate demands for IPP (Intimate Partner Protection) for Meghan Markle and their family?

In relation to the British Royal Family, the King, Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Wales children are entitled to round the clock protection, because they are essentially on duty for life.

IPP actually stands for International Protected Person. This is a status assigned to heads of state, heads of government, minister for foreign affairs, or the person representing a head of state/ government overseas, along with the family of the IPP in question. These people receive special protection when they are undergoing the duties of their role.

Prince Harry is not a head of state or a minister or ambassador, and as he no longer performs royal duties, he is never in the position of representing the King at any international event. He is not eligible for permanent or temporary IPP status and neither is his family. If he feels he needs security protection for his family, then he needs to pay for it himself.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

If another member of the royal family, for example the Princess Royal, was to represent the King on an international visit, she would be given IPP status for the duration of that visit. Most other IPPs only hold the status while they are performing certain duties, rather than around the clock for life.
