Since he himself could not be the object of corporal punishment because he was a prince, his whipping boy was a close friend who was punished whenever Prince Henry misbehaved. In theory, if he empathized with his whipping boy, he would not want to do anything that would cause him to have pain.

The boy who gets whipped.
The decision of who the whipping boy is often made by the royal family or those in positions of power at the time. The chosen whipping boy is typically a lower-ranking individual who takes the physical punishment on behalf of a royal or aristocratic child.
