Most of us know the name Madeleine McCann.
Three year old Maddie vanished on May 3 2007 from her bed, while on holiday in Portugal with her family.
The little girl’s face is recognisable worldwide, in fact, she is known as the most reported on missing person in modern history.
While Maddie’s parents Gerry and Kate are also famous thanks to their tireless campaigning to find her, little is known about the other most important people in Maddie’s life – her twin siblings, who were just two when she disappeared.
A clip from the official Find Madeleine website. Post continues after video.
Sean and Amelie are now 14, and they are both aspiring athletes. There are no public photos of the brother and sister as they are today, but there are a few from when they were younger.
Sean this year remains unbeaten in the swimming county championships, and is engrossed in cross country and triathlon in his local county. He competed in 14 championships, runs and leagues in 2018.

These children are probably “little known” for several very good reasons. How about we leave it that way rather than trawling through Instagram trying find out stuff about them? Why talk about where they go to school and what their hobbies are? Their whole lives have been completely altered (and possibly overshadowed) by their sister’s disappearance, let them have what little privacy they have left. I’m really starting to get sick of all the ‘what you need to know’ stories. They are usually about someone’s fiancé/partner etc, who clearly prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Rafael Nadal’s partner, Venus and Serena’s other siblings, the guy who once dated Kate Middleton, Lady Gaga’s (former) fiancé. Can we at least leave children out of this kind of story?

Yes!!! Rush you said it perfectly.
Well said Rush - it's not our business. Children should be off-limits. It's appalling that this article mentions so much detail about the - especially their school. They have a right to privacy. They didn't ask for any of this.
When you consider the weirdos and conspiracy theorists out there, talking about stuff like that feels like asking for trouble.
