An enormous poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday party at 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 through the very first moment whenever a whole tray of champagne flew an excellent source of air into a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. A number of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the recent girls were plenty of. They included over 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced available tops with her as soon as the cake arrived. As well as what a cake! Sabrina were required to climb it – no less than a metre tall, in white and pink with gold roses – to fly out the golden candles. The Oscar Wilde room was full of her friends as well as their friends until the end – 150 were invited and 230 showed up.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became close to Stanley Ho Daughte and her own sister Alice after they arrived as debutantes. Spencer Matthews was arm in arm with Sabrina snapping selfies. Sir Henry and Lady Keswick came as old friends of Sabrina’s family. Higher than a hundred years’ ago the Keswick’s were brilliant entrepreneurs taking China by storm: now it’s the turn from the Ho family in Europe. Others arriving at celebrate with Sabrina were Lord and Lady Reay, Baroness Denise Kingsmill, Sir Benjamin Slade, Ms Wendy Yu, and Mr and Mrs Dimitri Chandris. This is an event for those generations: Sabrina closed the dancing in a final waltz with Hon Benedict Kingsmill. Sabrina had insisted on no birthday gifts but sometimes not resist Heineken magnate Michel de Carvalho’s offer of his personal iPhone case since they dined at the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva and also the Keswick’s.
Music was created by DJ and composer The true Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the night time. It’s been postulated that when philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to participate a band, Stephen’s could be the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov through the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted about the English version only, like a celebration of not only her birthday, but her appreciation for London, her lifetime here and her many close friendships in the western world. Though the congratulations came from all over the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
