He endeared himself to the queen, so much so that he was given a knighthood \u2014 despite the fact that he had lived a double life as a Soviet spy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The files, among a trove from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/id\/wbna4731407\" target=\"_blank\">intelligence agency<\/a> MI5\u00a0that were released Tuesday by Britain\u2019s National Archives, shed new light on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/obituaries\/george-blake-last-line-cold-war-spies-who-betrayed-britain-n1252369\" target=\"_blank\">Cold War scandal<\/a> at the heart of the British establishment. The saga has long captivated historians and featured in popular culture, from spy novels to Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;The Crown.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Blunt confessed in 1964 to spying for the Soviet Union as part of the notorious Cambridge Five spy ring during World War II, but the queen would only be told the full story in 1973 \u2014 responding calmly and without surprise, according to the documents. His true identity was eventually exposed to the public by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/slideshow\/amp\/margaret-thatcher-32005803\" target=\"_blank\">former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher<\/a>, speaking in Parliament in 1979.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The security services closely guarded Blunt&#8217;s identity given his prominent position, with only a few senior officials informed, though the secret may have been known regardless. The queen\u2019s private secretary, Martin Charteris, was told only that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/id\/wbna4338737\" target=\"_blank\">MI5 intended to interrogate<\/a> Blunt due to his close ties with fellow spy Guy Burgess, who fled to the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In all likelihood, the events \u201ctell us more about the inability of the state to prosecute Blunt\u201d than a concerted effort by MI5 to keep the late queen in the dark, historian Chris Smith, who authored a biography of Cambridge Five spy John Cairncross, told NBC News. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cTo have informed Her Majesty or anyone else for that matter would have been potentially defamatory; it would also have been deemed embarrassing to Her Majesty,\u201d Smith said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">By the time Blunt was revealed to have been a spy, he had also become the consummate establishment figure, \u201cwhich was acutely embarrassing\u201d for the royal family, Smith added. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As such, concealing the information \u201cwould also have allowed the palace to truthfully deny that Her Majesty had any knowledge of Blunt\u2019s espionage activities, shielding her from personal embarrassment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n
