A massive poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy house party on the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot about 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 very first moment whenever a whole tray of champagne flew full of the environment into a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. Some of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the hot girls were sufficient. They included more than 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied along with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced up for grabs tops along with her as soon as the cake arrived. And what a cake! Sabrina was required to climb it – a minimum of a metre tall, in white and pink with gold roses – to blow out the golden candles. The Oscar Wilde room was loaded 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 Sabrina Ho and her sister Alice once they came out 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. 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 Lady Reay, Baroness Denise Kingsmill, Sir Benjamin Slade, Ms Wendy Yu, and Mr and Mrs Dimitri Chandris. This is 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 may 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 along with the Keswick’s.
Music was developed by DJ and composer The Real Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the evening. It’s been said if philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to become listed on a band, Stephen’s will be the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov through the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted about the English version only, as being a celebration of not just her birthday, but her love of London, her life here and her many close friendships under western culture. Nevertheless the congratulations came from all around the globe. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
