I'm imagining a ceremonial role at court. "Wiper of the Royal Bottom". It's an unpleasant job, but it's only one hour every 10 years. And if the kid accidentally swallows your lucky coin, good luck getting it back!
Some medieval societies considered jobs involving direct contact with the royal person sufficiently prestigious for noblemen. An infamous late instance in England was the "groom of the stool" (the person who assisted the king in his toilet business) being considered a job only fit for a knight of particularly good family or later an actual peer of the realm. The job often was given other administrative responsibilities.

Which is to say that, while at first the "Wiper of the Royal Bottom" would likely be a job of done by some nursemaid of little note, doubtlessly eventually it would become a prestigious position held as the hereditary birthright of some ducal line.
