Kristian Jensen who could have been PM right now, had he been less honest, less trusting and more cynical and more ruthless, has also spoken to BT about King Frederik and compared him quite aptly to Queen Mary:

He says, quite true, that you can't be good at everything and that the Regent Couple complement each other very well. - Can't say I disagree with his assessment.
"I think the special strengths of the King is that engage himself with the people he meets. He connects with the and people can sense his personality behind that.
Obviously some are fantastic speakers/orators. The King is a fantastic connector. He connects/bonds himself to people, and that I think is his big strength.
I think that King Frederik has all the possibilities of becoming a strong and very endeared Monarch. During the times I met him as crown prince and when I went traveling with him, he was really dedicated, vibrant and interested in the people he meets. (*)
And that are abilities that I'm certain the King brings with him in his new occupation in his new title and which is also a part of shaping the connection between people that is incredibly important in our time."
- But the King isn't that good at giving speeches. Is that cause for concern?
"No, I'm not worried about that, but obviously there are some who are up there in the super league, like Obama or for that matter Queen Mary. The King is really good in a one on one conversation, where you can feel his personality. That I think will really benefit him well in his new role."
(*) I also translate grammatical errors when translating quotes.
The typos are mine though...
