An enormous poster of Sabrina Ho welcomed guests to her wonderfully crazy birthday party in the Cafe Royal on Monday 12th September, hot around 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 primary moment each time a whole tray of champagne flew loaded with air to a rousing cheer. Pink champagne was served throughout. A number of Sabrina’s male friends missed the whiskey but said the new girls were ample. They included more than 40 of Sabrina’s British boarding school classmates who studied with your ex at Queen Margaret’s – and danced available tops with your ex after the cake arrived. Along with what a cake! Sabrina were required to climb it – no less than 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 as well as their friends until 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 own sister Alice when 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 with 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 is an event for all generations: Sabrina closed the dancing within a 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 in the after party with Ms Aida Aliyeva and also the Keswick’s.

Music was created by DJ and composer The true Tuesday Weld (aka Stephen Coates) who also MC’d the night time. It’s been said that when 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 around the English version only, like a celebration of not just her birthday, but her love of London, her lifetime here and her many close friendships in the West. But the congratulations came from all over the world. Top Chinese actress Angela Baby and Paris Hilton sent special videos wishing Sabrina every success and happiness.
