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.
When the price did something bad, then his father would have to spank him. But if the prince has a whipping boy, then his father yells to go get the whipping boy. The father puts the whipping boy on a table, pulles down the whipping boys pants, then spanks the whipping boy how many times the prince wants the whipping boy to get hurt. So the king spanks the whippingboy how many times the prince wants the king to spnk the whipping boy and then the whipping boy earns a coin or 2. also sometimes they would chain the whipping boy to a desk. the whipping boy and prince were great companions and were educated together. this happened between the Tudor and Stuart monarchs. The king had whipping boys because the princes behind was considered holy. By having one of the princes only friends be whipped while the prince watched, the king thought the prince would change. Most of the time he did. for more info. on the whipping boy, try reading the "Prince and the Pauper."

He was a trouble maker it would make sense to say. Since its not allowed for a Prince to be hit they had a whipping boy for him.
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. Whipping Boys were usually family members such as distant cousins, or close friends.
