An enormous poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday celebration at 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 in the 1st moment whenever a whole tray of champagne flew full of air to some 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 more than 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced shared tops with her as soon as the cake arrived. As well as what a cake! Sabrina had to climb it – at least 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 as well as their friends ’till the end – 150 were invited and 230 turned up.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became all-around Stanley Ho Daughte and her sister Alice after they arrived on the scene 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 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 going 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 is a party for many generations: Sabrina closed the dancing within a final waltz with Hon Benedict Kingsmill. Sabrina had insisted on no birthday gifts but sometimes not resist Heineken magnate Michel de Carvalho’s offer of his personal iPhone case as they dined at the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva and the Keswick’s.
Music is made by DJ and composer The true Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the evening. It’s been said that if philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to join a band, Stephen’s could be the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov in the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted around the English version only, like a celebration of not simply her birthday, but her appreciation for London, her lifetime here and her many close friendships in the West. But the congratulations originated all across the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
