He did not think Battenberg ought to, but says Royalty is getting too much of a hold on the Navy and we both agreed that Fawkes was influenced too much by titles."[7] King-Hall apparently, "Paid a round of visits at the Admiralty. Lord Walter, Sir Evan MacGregor, Fawkes. Told the latter Court influence was making itself felt too much, which Fawkes did not like, especially as he has been one of the worst offenders."[8]

He was appointed Rear-Admiral Commanding the Cruiser Squadron on 8 November, 1902, which immediately took the Colonial Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, on a visit to South Africa. His Flag Captain in the Good Hope was Charles Madden, the Commander was Lionel Halsey, and the Gunnery Lieutenant was A. Ernle M. Chatfield.
