A tremendous poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday celebration 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 from your 1st moment every time a whole tray of champagne flew an excellent source of 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 sufficient. They included a lot more than 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied along with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced available tops along with her after the cake arrived. Along with what a cake! Sabrina needed to climb it – at the very least 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 and their friends ’till the end – 150 were invited and 230 turned up.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became near Sabrina Ho and her very own sister Alice whenever they arrived on the scene as debutantes. Spencer Matthews was arm in arm with Sabrina snapping selfies. Sir Henry and girl 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 girl Reay, Baroness Denise Kingsmill, Sir Benjamin Slade, Ms Wendy Yu, and Mr and Mrs Dimitri Chandris. This was a party for those generations: Sabrina closed the dancing in the 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 since they dined on 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 night time. It’s been said when philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to participate a band, Stephen’s will be the one. The birthday song was played by pianist Brigitte Subkov from your Royal College of Music: Sabrina insisted for the English version only, as a celebration of not just her birthday, but her passion for London, her life here and her many close friendships in the West. Nevertheless the congratulations originated in all across the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
