A massive poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday celebration on 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 very first moment each time a whole tray of champagne flew high in mid-air into a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. Some of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the girls were ample. They included over 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied with your ex at Queen Margaret’s – and danced on the table tops with your ex following the cake arrived. Along with what a cake! Sabrina were required to climb it – no less than a metre tall, in pink and white 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 showed up.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became all-around Stanley Ho Daughte and her very own sister Alice whenever they arrived 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 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. This was a party for all generations: Sabrina closed the dancing within a final waltz with Hon Benedict Kingsmill. Sabrina had insisted on no birthday gifts but could 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 made by DJ and composer The genuine Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the evening. It’s been said that if philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to become listed on a band, Stephen’s would 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 just her birthday, but her love of London, her life here and her many close friendships in the West. Though the congratulations originated in all over the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
