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. His [[Royal mottos of Danish monarchs|motto]] is {{Lang|da|Forbundne, forpligtet, for Kongeriget Danmark}} (English: "United, committed, for the Kingdom of Denmark"), the first motto that does not mention God since [[Frederik VII]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=14 January 2024 |title=Her er kong Frederiks valgsprog |url=https://nyheder.tv2.dk/2024-01-14-her-er-kong-frederiks-valgsprog |access-date=14 January 2024 |website=nyheder.tv2.dk |language=da-DK |archive-date=14 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240114142000/https://nyheder.tv2.dk/2024-01-14-her-er-kong-frederiks-valgsprog |url-status=live }}</ref>
