Yes and no...
Keep it simple but I just don't buy that such a massive operation would swing in to place virtually immediately and in such a coordinated way just to avoid some embarassment.
It just seems way too much of a response. I feel there is something else going on but I also think we will probably never know what that is.
These are the same people that are reponsible for official secrets for 30 (and sometimes a 100!) years. The Dunblane shooting for example.

11th May - Philomena at Prayer Vigil, St. Andrew's Cathedral, Glasgow.
12th May - " " Celtic Park for 'merching' and meeting the late Alex Salmond.
16th May - " " Westminster to lobby M.P.s

Mitchell's statement in the McCann: P.J. Files

He met G at Leicestershire Police station during the time that G had returned to the U.K. after his daughter's disappearance. At the time, he was working as part of the Consular Assistance Group. He went to Portugal with G on 22nd May and stayed until the middle of June.

However, PeterMac's post of 3.9.24 under 'Brick Reviews' stated that Philomena arrived on 23rd May, the same day as G returned from the U.K. with Mitchell
and
'She probably brought the memory stick with the doctored pool photo on it, which allowed Mitchell to send it off to APF on 23rd and for it to be published on 24th'.

Anyway, there's not much of a difference there.

However, we don't exactly know if Auntie Phil and Clarrie met up at some point, or if they at least communicated, do we? There could even have been somebody acting as a go-between.

Tuesday, 22 May 2007. Fiona, Dave and the girls left Praia da Luz at 6.30am. ….

At lunchtime, Gerry arrived back in Praia da Luz with Clarence. …

We’d arranged to go to Fátima the following day – our twentieth day without Madeleine – so part of Tuesday afternoon was spent preparing for that. In the evening, Gerry’s sister Phil flew in from Glasgow. It was so good to see her.

And the Pool photo was released on 24th, so APR must have received it on 23rd. From Clarence, who got it from Philomena
