The £11.75million search for Madeleine McCann has had a £85,00 boost thanks to royalties from her mother’s book.
Find Madeleine – Leaving No Stone Unturned was the foundation set up by the toddler’s parents Kate and Gerry McCann in 2007 to manage donations given to help find her.
It also holds money raised from the sale of Mrs McCann’s book – Madeleine – which she wrote in 2011 to help raise even more money for the hunt for her daughter.
She has now donated £84,096 in royalties, taking the firm’s private profits to £823,332, reports The Mirror.
It has remained a best-seller ever since with thousands fascinated by the mystery of her disappearance from the family’s hotel room in Praia da Luz in Portugal in May 2007.
The private funds the family have donated to the search are on top of the £11.75million in public money officials have granted them so far.

At Christmas the McCanns said they will never give up on her, vowing to continue the search until they find answers.

On a Christmas card posted online, the couple of Rothley, Leicestershire, wrote: ‘We couldn’t let a Christmas go by without passing on a warm thank you to all our supporters for the kind and continuing good wishes, especially at this very busy time of year.
‘We miss Madeleine dearly. Christmas will never be the same without her, but we will continue to make the best of what we have.
‘The investigation is ongoing and our hope remains. May 2019 be a peaceful and positive one for us all.’
Next to an image of a sparkling silver tree the couple signed off: ‘Thank you. Kate & Gerry.’
In November the Home Office agreed to give another £150,000 to detectives investigating Maddie’s disappearance. It takes the amount of public money used on the probe to £11.75million.
It gives ‘Operation Grange’ the capacity to continue until at least March 2019.
