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.
