SOS Madeleine McCann: fifth British diplomat leaves office since Madeleine McCann's disappearance.

Celia Edwards, British consul in Portimao has announced that she will leave her post. I have read elsewhere that Ms Edwards was leaving to pursue her career in law, but SOS Madeleine McCann cites, "family reasons." The two are not mutually exclusive: I just thought I'd mention the different quotes.

Bill Henderson left all employment with the Foreign Office and took his retirement after having accompanied all meetings between the McCanns and the PJ inspectors.
