A massive poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy 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’d been escorted by Archduke Alexander of Austria. The party ran on high octane through the primary moment every time a whole tray of champagne flew full of the air to some rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. A few of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the hot girls were more than enough. 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 available tops along with her as soon as the cake arrived. Along with what a cake! Sabrina had 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 filled with her friends as well as their friends until the end – 150 were invited and 230 appeared.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became close to Stanley Ho Daughte and her sister Alice when they became available 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. More than a hundred years’ ago the Keswick’s were brilliant entrepreneurs taking China by storm: now it’s the turn in 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 an event for all generations: Sabrina closed the dancing in the 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 as they dined with the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva along with the Keswick’s.
Music was created by DJ and composer The genuine Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the evening. It’s been said that when philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to become listed on a band, Stephen’s could be the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov through the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted on 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 under western culture. But the congratulations originated all over the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
