Britain’s real-life spies have finally caught up with James Bond, with MI6 appointing its first female chief.

Blaise Metreweli, who joined the Secret Intelligence Service in 1999, will become the 18th chief of the organisation and take over from Sir Richard Moore later this year.

A career intelligence officer, Metreweli, 47, steps from the shadows into the light as the only MI6 employee whose name is made public.

"I am proud and honoured to be asked to lead my Service," she said.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the “historic appointment” comes at a time when the work of intelligence services has never been more vital. He made the announcement as he arrived in the Canadian province of Alberta for the G7 summit.
