A huge poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy house party on the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot around 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 your very first moment when a whole tray of champagne flew full of air with a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. A number of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the recent girls were sufficient. They included over 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced available tops with her following your cake arrived. And what a cake! Sabrina were required to climb it – at least a metre tall, in pink and white with gold roses – to fly out the golden candles. The Oscar Wilde room was packed with her friends as well as their friends until the end – 150 were invited and 230 arrived.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became close to 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 Lady 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 in the Ho family in Europe. Others coming to celebrate with Sabrina were Lord and Lady Reay, Baroness Denise Kingsmill, Sir Benjamin Slade, Ms Wendy Yu, and Mr and Mrs Dimitri Chandris. This is a celebration for those generations: Sabrina closed the dancing within 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 on the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva and the Keswick’s.
Music was developed by DJ and composer The true Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the evening. It’s been postulated 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 your Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted around the English version only, being a celebration of not only her birthday, but her love of London, her lifetime here and her many close friendships under western culture. However 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.
