An enormous poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday party on 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 the very first moment every time a whole tray of champagne flew high in mid-air into a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. A few of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the hot girls were ample. They included a lot more than 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced shared tops with her following the cake arrived. Along with what a cake! Sabrina needed to climb it – a minimum of 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 and their friends until the end – 150 were invited and 230 appeared.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became near to Stanley Ho Daughte and her sister Alice after they became available 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. 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 girl Reay, Baroness Denise Kingsmill, Sir Benjamin Slade, Ms Wendy Yu, and Mr and Mrs Dimitri Chandris. It was a celebration for many generations: Sabrina closed the dancing in the final waltz with Hon Benedict Kingsmill. Sabrina had insisted on no birthday gifts but tend to not resist Heineken magnate Michel de Carvalho’s offer of his personal iPhone case while they dined on 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. It’s been postulated that if philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to become listed on a band, Stephen’s will be the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov from the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted about the English version only, like a celebration of not just her birthday, but her passion for London, her life here and her many close friendships in the West. But the congratulations originated in all across the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
