When Henry VII was a child he had a whipping boy what for?

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.
