A huge poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy house party on the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot for 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 very first moment every time a whole tray of champagne flew an excellent source of the environment with a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. Some of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the new girls were more than enough. They included a lot more than 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied together with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced shared tops together with her following the cake arrived. Along with what a cake! Sabrina was required 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 until the end – 150 were invited and 230 showed up.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became near Stanley Ho Daughte and her sister Alice when they arrived on the scene 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 with the Ho family in Europe. Others arriving at celebrate with Sabrina were Lord and Lady Reay, Baroness Denise Kingsmill, Sir Benjamin Slade, Ms Wendy Yu, and Mr and Mrs Dimitri Chandris. This became an event for many 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 developed by DJ and composer The true Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the night. It’s been said that if philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to sign up 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 for the English version only, being a celebration of not simply her birthday, but her love of London, her lifetime here and her many close friendships in the western world. Nevertheless the congratulations originated from all across the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
