He also implored other designers, dressmakers and even home sewers to get involved as well through groups that help coordinate donations from individuals or small groups. And while she hasn't commented directly, QEII is likely in full support of Parvin's efforts and message.
Just two days before Parvin's tweet, the queen issued a personal note to all healthcare workers in honor of World Health Day in which she thanked doctors, nurses and others within the healthcare professions “for your selfless commitment and diligence as you undertake vitally important roles to protect and improve the health and well-being of people across the Commonwealth, and around the world... In testing times, we often observe that the best of the human spirit comes to the fore; the dedication to service of countless nurses, midwives and other health workers, in the these most challenging of circumstances, is an example to us all. My family and I send our enduring appreciation and good wishes.”
And in a rare televised address a few days earlier, Queen Elizabeth emphasized the public's responsibility to tackle this disease together. “We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return,” she told the 24 million viewers who tuned in. “We will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again.” And presumably we will have an opportunity to see the queen sporting one of Parvin's gloriously bright ensembles again, as well. In the meantime, keep those royally-approved scrubs coming, sir!
