An enormous poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy party in the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot on 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 in the 1st moment each time a whole tray of champagne flew loaded with the air to a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. A few of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the girls were ample. They included a lot more than 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied together with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced up for grabs tops together with her following your cake arrived. As well as what a cake! Sabrina were required to climb it – a minimum of a metre tall, in pink and white with gold roses – to fly out the golden candles. The Oscar Wilde room was loaded with her friends in addition to their friends until the end – 150 were invited and 230 turned up.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became all-around Stanley Ho Daughte and her sister Alice when they arrived on the scene as debutantes. Spencer Matthews was arm in arm with Sabrina snapping selfies. Sir Henry and girl 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 in the Ho family in Europe. Others going to celebrate with Sabrina were Lord and girl Reay, Baroness Denise Kingsmill, Sir Benjamin Slade, Ms Wendy Yu, and Mr and Mrs Dimitri Chandris. This became an event for many generations: Sabrina closed the dancing in the final waltz with Hon Benedict Kingsmill. Sabrina had insisted on no birthday gifts but could not resist Heineken magnate Michel de Carvalho’s offer of his personal iPhone case as they dined in the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva and also the Keswick’s.
Music is made by DJ and composer The true Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the evening. It’s been said that if philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to participate a band, Stephen’s would be the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov in the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted on 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 under western culture. Nevertheless the congratulations originated from all over the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
