Ernest, the charming royal German rogue of\xa0Victoria, has a reputation for being a kind of happy-go-lucky courtier. But his personal journey this season \u2014 from his dying father to his catastrophic medical condition \u2014 leaves actor David Oakes wishing somebody else in court would take the time to ask how Ernest is feeling. Oakes explains why he sees Ernest as the Jiminy Cricket to Prince Albert's Pinocchio, and offers his previews of the closing half of this second season of\xa0Victoria.
