A tremendous poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday celebration with 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 from your initial moment whenever a whole tray of champagne flew full of the air into a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. Some of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the girls were ample. They included over 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied together with her at Queen Margaret’s – and danced available tops together with her after the cake arrived. As well as what a cake! Sabrina had to climb it – at least a metre tall, in white and pink with gold roses – to fly out the golden candles. The Oscar Wilde room was full of her friends in addition to their friends ’till the end – 150 were invited and 230 showed up.
Special guests included Ella Mountbatten: she and her sister Alexandra became near Sabrina Ho and her sister Alice after 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 from 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 a celebration for all those 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 because they dined with the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva and also the Keswick’s.
Music was developed by DJ and composer The genuine Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the evening. It’s been said that when philosopher Alain de Botton were ever to join 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 about the English version only, being a celebration of not merely her birthday, but her love of London, her lifetime 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.
