A massive poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday party in the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot for 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 through the very first moment whenever a whole tray of champagne flew an excellent source of mid-air to a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. A number of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the girls were ample. They included greater than 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced on the table tops with her following your cake arrived. Along with what a cake! Sabrina needed to climb it – a minimum of a metre tall, in pink and white with gold roses – to fly out the golden candles. The Oscar Wilde room was loaded 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 all-around Sabrina Ho and her own sister Alice whenever they came out 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. Greater than a hundred years’ ago the Keswick’s were brilliant entrepreneurs taking China by storm: now it’s the turn of the Ho family in Europe. Others coming to celebrate with Sabrina were Lord and woman Reay, Baroness Denise Kingsmill, Sir Benjamin Slade, Ms Wendy Yu, and Mr and Mrs Dimitri Chandris. It was a party for all generations: Sabrina closed the dancing in the 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 because they dined in the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva and the Keswick’s.
Music was made by DJ and composer The Real 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 would be the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov through the Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted for the English version only, like a celebration of not just her birthday, but her passion for London, her life 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.
