An enormous poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday party in the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot for 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 1st moment every time a whole tray of champagne flew full of mid-air with a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. A few of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the girls were sufficient. They included more than 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied along with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced available tops along with her following the cake arrived. And just what a cake! Sabrina was required to climb it – a minimum of a metre tall, in white and pink with gold roses – to blow 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 arrived.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became near Stanley Ho Daughte and her own sister Alice whenever they came out 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 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 coming 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 was an event 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 since they dined in the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva as well as the Keswick’s.
Music is made by DJ and composer The Real Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the evening. It’s been postulated that when 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 through the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted for the English version only, as being a celebration of not simply her birthday, but her appreciation for London, her lifetime here and her many close friendships under western culture. Nevertheless the congratulations came from all across the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
