Before Gloria crossed the pond to promote her upcoming Broadway show, she revealed the two women that inspired her while growing up.“I give a lot of credit to my mother and my grandmother," she told HOLA! USA. "Unfortunately, because of my grandfather’s and my father’s health (he developed multiple sclerosis after serving in Vietnam) they had to be in control; they were the ones who brought the money home. And it wasn’t easy. My mother was a teacher in Cuba, and when she left the country they tore up her title. But they can’t take away your education,” she explained.

The Duchess of Cornwall was spotted congratulating the winners of the night backstage at the awards

As for Camilla, she looked stunning in a navy blue off-the-shoulder gown that she paired with shiny jewels. During the night, she was spotted backstage congratulating winners of the night. "She asked if it was a big surprise that I won an award," said Patsy Ferran, who won the Best Actress award for her work in Tennessee Williams' play Summer And Smoke. "I said it was a massive, huge surprise. I wasn't expecting it at all. She said she thought I did very well with dealing with my surprise."

Until the next royal Insta post!
