In her book, ‘Madeleine: Our Daughter's Disappearance and the Continuing Search for Her,’ Kate revealed the details of the night before her disappearance.
She wrote in 2011: “Wednesday, May 2, 2007. Our last completely happy day, our last, to date, as a family of five, if only it was possible to rewind, even for an hour.
“Today it rained, the children went to their clubs, but our tennis lessons were postponed.
“Instead we joined Fiona, David and Dianne at the Millennium restaurant for coffee.
“We then returned to our apartment and a little while later I left again, to go for a run with Matt.
“As we ran along the promenade, a small dog jumped out from under a bench and attacked my right calf, it was pretty sore and I was a bit shaken, but I carried on as coolly as I could manage.”
Kate went on to reveal the intricate details of the rest of that day.
She added: "Gerry and I picked up the children, had lunch in the apartment and then took them to the play area for an hour before walking them to their clubs.
“The tennis group lessons were rescheduled for the afternoon, after that it was the usual routine, tea with the children, playtime, bath time, milk, stories, kids' bedtime, get ready, Tapas at 8.30pm.
"Tonight it was Rachael's turn to be feeling a bit under the weather and she gave dinner a miss, remaining in her apartment next door to ours.
“The only other difference was that after dinner we ventured into the enclosed bar area – where it was, to my relief, warmer – for a liqueur.
“As a result, we went back to our apartments a little later than normal and it also meant that the time between our last check of the children and our return was longer, closer to 45 minutes.”
Kate then explained how Gerry had "hurt" her by his actions during dinner.
She added: “At about 11.50pm, Gerry abruptly announced, 'Right, I'm off to bed. Goodnight.'
“As he turned to leave, Dave said jokingly, 'She's not that bad, Gerry!'
“I must admit I was slightly hurt that Gerry should just go off without me, as if I was unimportant – irrelevant, even – and Dave's remark was an indication that it wasn’t just me being over-sensitive.
“Let me tell you something about Gerry, his honesty and openness makes him very direct, often to the point of bluntness, and he’s not a touchy-feely guy.”
Justifying Gerry’s actions, she added: “Like many men, he assumes I take his feelings as read and doesn’t see any need to express them with soft-soaping, flowers or cards.
