After succeeding to the throne, he was proclaimed king from the balcony of Christiansborg Palace by Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen as has been the custom for Danish monarchs since the introduction of the constitutional monarchy in 1849.

In November 2024 the Royal Court announced that the King had decided to phase out the system of granting companies royal warrants, which has been extant in Denmark since the 19th century.

All warrants and similar titles are to be phased out by 31 December 2029.{{Cite web |title=Royal Warrant system to be phased out |url=https://www.kongehuset.dk/en/news/royal-warrant-system-to-be-phased-out |access-date=2025-01-09 |website=www.kongehuset.dk}}

On 9 October 2009, Crown Prince Frederik was elected a member of the International Olympic Committee, replacing former Danish member Kaj Holm, who had reached the age of retirement.{{cite news |last1=Jørgensen |first1=Lars |title=Denmark's Olympic Fall |url=https://www.information.dk/indland/2009/09/danmarks-olympiske-knaefald |newspaper=Information |publisher=Dagbladet Information |access-date=26 June 2017 |language=da |date=30 September 2009 |archive-date=7 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201007234028/https://www.information.dk/indland/2009/09/danmarks-olympiske-knaefald |url-status=live}} The Crown Prince's candidature was met with some skepticism in Denmark, as it would mean that the Crown Prince would be on a semi-political committee along with several people who are suspected or even convicted of criminal acts.{{cite web |last1=Villemann |first1=Trine |title=High Stakes on the Future of the Royal Family |url=https://www.information.dk/debat/2009/10/hoejt-spil-kongehusets-fremtid |website=information.dk |publisher=Dagbladet Information |access-date=26 June 2017 |language=da |date=9 October 2009 |archive-date=8 October 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201008104755/https://www.information.dk/debat/2009/10/hoejt-spil-kongehusets-fremtid |url-status=live}} Another concern was whether or not the Crown Prince's loyalty would be towards his country and government, as the Danish constitution prescribes, or with the International Olympic Committee, as is sworn upon election to the committee. The Crown Prince was given special observer status in National Olympic Committee and Sports Confederation of Denmark, as a way to allow him to work, without having political power.{{cite web |last1=Vangkilde |first1=Jesper |title=The Crown Prince Circumvents the Rules |url=http://politiken.dk/sport/art5518055/Kronprinsen-omg%C3%A5r-idr%C3%A6ttens-regler |website=politiken.dk |publisher=Politiken |access-date=26 June 2017 |language=da |date=14 January 2012 |archive-date=8 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230408075759/https://politiken.dk/sport/art5518055/Kronprinsen-omg%C3%A5r-idr%C3%A6ttens-regler |url-status=live}}

Frederik announced that his point of focus and reason for joining the International Olympic Committee is to promote an active lifestyle among youth. He was elected for an eight-year term, and made it clear that he would terminate his membership upon ascending the Danish throne.{{cite web |author1=Ritzau |author-link1=Ritzau |title=The Crown Prince Wants to Focus on Health in IOC |url=http://politiken.dk/sport/art4817011/Kronprins-vil-k%C3%A6mpe-for-sundhed-i-IOC |website=politiken.dk |date=15 August 2009 |publisher=Politiken |access-date=26 June 2017 |language=da |archive-date=8 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230408141814/https://politiken.dk/sport/art4817011/Kronprins-vil-k%C3%A6mpe-for-sundhed-i-IOC |url-status=live}}

In 2012, Frederik carried the Olympic flame through Notting Hill, a neighbourhood in West London.{{cite web |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/royals-making-most-of-london-olympics-1.1152375 |title=Royals making most of London Olympics |publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation |date=2 August 2012 |accessdate=12 August 2021 |archive-date=12 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210812151615/https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/royals-making-most-of-london-olympics-1.1152375 |url-status=live}}

In 2016, Frederik faced criticism for voting against Danish Minister for Culture Bertel Haarder and a majority in the Danish Parliament's wishes on the subject of whether or not Russia should be allowed to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics following allegations of state-sponsored doping.{{cite web |last1=Kristensen |first1=Kim |title=Kronprinsens kup |url=https://www.information.dk/indland/2016/10/kronprinsens-kup |website=information.dk |publisher=Information |access-date=4 April 2021 |language=da |date=8 October 2016 |archive-date=22 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210622013841/https://www.information.dk/indland/2016/10/kronprinsens-kup |url-status=live}}

On 19 June 2017, the Crown Prince announced that he would continue another term of 8 years.{{cite web |last1=Top |first1=Morten |title=Crown Prince Frederik Continues in IOC |url=http://www.dr.dk/sporten/ol/kronprins-frederik-fortsaetter-i-ioc |website=dr.dk |publisher=DR |access-date=26 June 2017 |language=da |date=19 June 2017 |archive-date=23 June 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170623122932/http://www.dr.dk/sporten/ol/kronprins-frederik-fortsaetter-i-ioc |url-status=live}} However, in 2021, Frederik was announced that he would step down as an active member of the International Olympic Committee at the committee's annual session prior to the 2020 Summer Olympics, citing a wish to intensify his everyday work as the reason for stepping down in the middle of his term.{{cite web |title=HRH The Crown Prince steps down as active member of the International Olympic Committee |url=https://www.kongehuset.dk/en/media-centre/press-releases/press-release-hrh-the-crown-prince-steps-down-as-active-member-of-the-international-olympic |website=kongehuset.dk |publisher=Danish royal family |access-date=13 June 2021 |date=8 June 2021 |archive-date=3 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211203194241/https://www.kongehuset.dk/en/media-centre/press-releases/press-release-hrh-the-crown-prince-steps-down-as-active-member-of-the-international-olympic |url-status=live}}

Frederik was originally styled "His Royal Highness Prince Frederik of Denmark". On the accession of his mother on 14 January 1972, he became known as "His Royal Highness The Crown Prince of Denmark".

The King has received a number of honours.

One of the more surprising honours he has received is the special honour from the Danish Red Cross. Normally, this accolade is only given to former presidents of the Danish Red Cross, but a special exception was made for the king on this occasion.{{Cite web|url=https://www.dagens.com/world/an-exception-has-been-made-king-frederik-receives-a-very-special-tribute|title=An exception has been made: King Frederik receives a very special tribute|website=www.dagens.com|date=29 February 2024 }}
