He’s Dolan it out for Trump

- Cindy Adams one

HIS Eminence Timothy Cardinal Dolan, the greatly loved Archbishop of the state of New York — which we have heard from the newly opened GOP hushed mouths is now in play — has accepted an invite to give the opening prayer at the Trump convention. Until Day 1 of their current hoo-hah the Democrats were still trying to dredge up a retired priest.

Royal treatment

IN days of yore — before we had a VP candidate and voters whispering: “Biden needs a food taster” — Britannia still had a nit-twit named His Royal Highness Harry.

Netflix then plotted a multimilli­on dollar deal around this ex-HRH with his bride, Sparkle Plenty, and said, “Everyone’s interested in them.”

His now Nobodyness reportedly announced he disliked the idea of Netflix portraying him in “The Crown.” So, being his missus is already big with lawyers, he vowed to stop their newest idea for the show before its chronology reached into his life.

Enter the Broadway musical “Diana,” chroniclin­g the life and death of his mum. Predicted was it could have won the Tony. Unfortunat­ely, Broadway’s shut at least until Yeezy gets his presidenti­al statue on the White House lawn or Kim decides what sneakers to put on it.

“Diana,” starring Jeanna de Waal, was to open March, but the coronaviru­s opened earlier. Now it’s known that Netflix is filming what was to be the Broadway stage musical and which was then already in previews, and that’s what they’ll put on the air.

Back aways Harry asked if this musical portrayed him. I mean, as though the late princess only maybe had son? Those involved answered only, “Harry and William figure in it, but we can’t say more than that.” Me, I can because long back I saw the storyboard, the scenes, the setup, Diana’s 38 costume changes, and the Harry character.

As they say, the show must go on. And will on TV. And will eventually on Broadway. And will include characteri­zation of Mr. Meghan Sparkle, even though hell may hath no fury like a Harry scorned.

And although you won’t see Harry in “The Crown,” the final seasons will star Elizabeth Debicki as Lady Di, and Jonathan Pryce ,whogotan Oscar nom for “The Two Popes,” as Prince Philip. From papacy to royalty, blessings to medals, it’s either up a step or sideways. This guy already knows from ermine capes, gold thrones and sabers up the hilt. Why? Because he learned acting at the Royal Academy.
