A huge poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday celebration in the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot about 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 the initial moment each time a whole tray of champagne flew loaded with air to some rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. A number 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 with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced up for grabs tops with her as soon as the cake arrived. As well as what a cake! Sabrina needed 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 and their friends until the end – 150 were invited and 230 turned up.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became close to 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 was an event for those generations: Sabrina closed the dancing inside 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 as they dined in 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 night. It’s been said if philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to participate a band, Stephen’s would be the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov from the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted about the English version only, as 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 originated from all across the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
