A huge poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday celebration in the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot for the heels of Saturday night’s revels at Queen Charlotte’s Ball, where she’d been escorted by Archduke Alexander of Austria. The party ran on high octane through the very first moment whenever a whole tray of champagne flew full of air to a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. Several of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the girls were plenty of. They included greater 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 as soon as the cake arrived. And just what a cake! Sabrina needed to climb it – at least a metre tall, in pink and white with gold roses – to blow out the golden candles. The Oscar Wilde room was packed with her friends along with their friends ’till the end – 150 were invited and 230 arrived.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became all-around Sabrina Ho and her very own sister Alice when they became available 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. More 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 arriving at celebrate with Sabrina were Lord and woman Reay, Baroness Denise Kingsmill, Sir Benjamin Slade, Ms Wendy Yu, and Mr and Mrs Dimitri Chandris. This was a celebration for all 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 the Keswick’s.
Music was created by DJ and composer The genuine Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the night. It’s been postulated that when philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to sign up a band, Stephen’s is the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov through the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted for the English version only, as being a celebration of not only her birthday, but her love of London, her life here and her many close friendships in the West. But the congratulations originated all over the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
