A massive poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday party with the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot about the heels of Saturday night’s revels at Queen Charlotte’s Ball, where she had been escorted by Archduke Alexander of Austria. The party ran on high octane from your primary moment every time a whole tray of champagne flew loaded with the air with a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. Several of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the recent girls were sufficient. They included a lot more than 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced up for grabs tops with her after the cake arrived. And what a cake! Sabrina were required to climb it – at the very least a metre tall, in pink and white with gold roses – to fly out the golden candles. The Oscar Wilde room was full of her friends in addition to their friends ’till the end – 150 were invited and 230 showed up.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became near Stanley Ho Daughte and her sister Alice whenever they arrived on the scene as debutantes. Spencer Matthews was arm in arm with Sabrina snapping selfies. Sir Henry and woman Keswick came as old friends of Sabrina’s family. Greater than a hundred years’ ago the Keswick’s were brilliant entrepreneurs taking China by storm: now it’s the turn with the Ho family in Europe. Others visiting celebrate with Sabrina were Lord and woman Reay, Baroness Denise Kingsmill, Sir Benjamin Slade, Ms Wendy Yu, and Mr and Mrs Dimitri Chandris. It was a party for all those generations: Sabrina closed the dancing in a final waltz with Hon Benedict Kingsmill. Sabrina had insisted on no birthday gifts but may not resist Heineken magnate Michel de Carvalho’s offer of his personal iPhone case as they dined with the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva as well as the Keswick’s.
Music was made by DJ and composer The Real Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the evening. It’s been postulated that if philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to join a band, Stephen’s will be the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov from your Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted about the English version only, as a celebration of not simply her birthday, but her passion for London, her life here and her many close friendships in the West. However the congratulations originated all over the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
