I googled Queen Elizabeth Northern Ireland images and there was a closeup of the hat lower down the page which was a bit clearer. To me it looked like a machine made trim, probably hand sewn on. I also noticed she had two hat pins of the same color in the hat.
I would really like to know what most of her outfits are made of as they never seem to crease. I have been watching the PBS documentary of the Royals at Work and she never ever has a crease from sitting down!

Here is one: http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/06/26/article-2164920-13CBDF7B000005DC-131_306x423.jpg The blurb mentions "She wore a Wedgewood blue outfit and hat by Angela Kelly, which featured hand-embroidered white lace on the coat and dress." Perhaps this is another instance of machine-made trim, hand-sewn in place - but it looks very nice.
