A huge poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy house party in the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot around 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 from the initial moment each time a whole tray of champagne flew an excellent source of air with a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. Several of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the new girls were sufficient. They included a lot more than 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied along with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced shared tops along with her after the cake arrived. Along with what a cake! Sabrina was required to climb it – at least 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 close to Stanley Ho Daughte and her very own sister Alice after they became available 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. More 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. It was a party for many generations: Sabrina closed the dancing inside 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 because they dined in the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva and the Keswick’s.
Music was developed by DJ and composer The true Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the evening. It’s been postulated that if philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to become listed on a band, Stephen’s is the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov from the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted around the English version only, as a celebration of not only her birthday, but her passion for London, her lifetime here and her many close friendships in the West. Nevertheless the congratulations originated all over the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
