Nov 28, 2021 at 1:01 comment added Yemon Choi Also @AlexM. I agree with abx (my first interpretation of the question was yours, but then once I realized there are diagonal counterexamples I assumed that -- as is sometimes commonplace in matrix analysis -- $\Vert \cdot\Vert_p$ is used for the $\ell_p^n\to \ell_p^n$ norm. (The Hilbert-Schmidt norm is then often denoted, in those sources, by "F" for "Frobenius.)
Nov 27, 2021 at 13:04 comment added abx @Alex M.: I think the OP meant the operator norm w.r.t. ${\lVert\ \rVert}_2$ on $\Bbb{C}^n$ — otherwise this is trivially false.
Nov 27, 2021 at 12:35 comment added Alex M. @abx: I have no idea if one can come up with an even simpler proof than the one in the reference. On the other hand, please notice that here the OP asks about the norm $\| \cdot \| _2$ (i.e. $P$ is viewed as an $n^2$-dimensional vector), whereas in the reference one works with the operator norm. Maybe that proof can be adapted to this situation, I haven't tried.
Nov 27, 2021 at 12:27 comment added abx @Alex M.: Is there a simpler proof in the finite-dimensional case? Anyway, I agree that this is not a research question. But I have seen more elementary questions well-received on MO...
Nov 27, 2021 at 11:14 comment added Alex M. @abx: I beg to disagree: the proof in that reference is ingenious, but entirely elementary. Furthermore, things are easier in this post because the Hilbert space is finite-dimensional, so in principle one has more ways of attacking the problem. This is definitely a good question for MSE, undoubtedly, but maybe less so for MO.

Nov 27, 2021 at 9:26 comment added abx I don't understand why this question is closed. This is nontrivial, see the nice reference given by Christian Remling.
