Richard Curtis, the producer and screenwriter, appeared in Wimbledon's Royal Box Days after criticizing the tournament's sponsorship deal with Barclays on climate change grounds. Curtis signed a letter objecting to the partnership, along with other notable figures such as Dame Emma Thompson and Brian Eno. While he did not boycott the championships, Curtis attended a match on Centre Court. The letter called on Wimbledon to reconsider its partnership with Barclays, stating that the bank profits from climate chaos. Wimbledon aims to achieve "net zero" emissions by 2030. Barclays responded, emphasizing its commitment to addressing climate change.
