A massive poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy house party with the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot on 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 primary moment every time a whole tray of champagne flew high in mid-air with a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. A few of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the recent girls were ample. They included over 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied along with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced shared tops along with her following the cake arrived. And 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 packed with her friends and their friends ’till the end – 150 were invited and 230 turned up.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became near to Stanley Ho Daughte and her own sister Alice when they arrived 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. 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 visiting celebrate with Sabrina were Lord and woman Reay, Baroness Denise Kingsmill, Sir Benjamin Slade, Ms Wendy Yu, and Mr and Mrs Dimitri Chandris. This became a party for those generations: Sabrina closed the dancing in a 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 since they dined with the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva and the Keswick’s.
Music is made by DJ and composer The genuine 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 from the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted on the English version only, as a celebration of not only her birthday, but her appreciation for London, her life here and her many close friendships under western culture. 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.
