"The Whipping Boy" is the story of Prince Brat and Jeremy, who is hired to be his whipping boy. Whenever Prince Brat misbehaves, Jeremy gets whipped. Some of the different things in the story that give the reader a visual of the time and setting are men and women wearing powdered wigs. The trend of wearing wigs started with King Louis XIII. Around the 1600's wearing wigs was popular in Versailles. However, it was in the 18th century when powdered wigs were most popular in England. Based on this information the era seems to be the 18th century.
The palace has a main hall with royalty. This gives the reader that the setting is a castle. The other setting in the story is the forest which has fog and pines.
Other than these details the book has no specific location.
