There were a couple of inaccuracies, but anyone demanding a correction over when they washed a toy cat would look just slightly silly imo.
Why? KH has plenty to say about Kate re CC being washed - but it's all based on a total lie.

Taking her little bed-time toy, Cuddle Cat, with the last smell of their daughter,
and putting it in the wash just five days after she vanished into the night.I speak to people who have lost parents and cannot bear to wipe messages from their answer machine because it’s something to hold on to. They keep them just to feel close.
Some even call their mothers’ phone, just to hear it ring and imagine she might there to say ‘sleep tight’ one last time.
I would put Cuddle Cat under my pillow every night to be close to the baby I lost. Not wash its memories away.
unquoteThe reason why she is so scathing is because she thinks CC was washed after only 5 days. That allegation is completely untrue.
By the time CC was washed weeks later - it no longer resembled the cuddly toy Kate was used to seeing her daughter with. It was really grubby and smelled of suntan lotion. Washing it restored it to how it looked when Madeleine played with it.
KH's comments re CC were because she'd got her facts wrong - and her cruel condemnation of Kate emanated from that IMO. To publically slur someone's character based on a lie is libellous IMO. And if it isn't it should be.
