Frederick became king of Denmark upon his father's death on 29 January 1906.
In many ways, Frederick VIII was a liberal monarch who was much more favorable to the new parliamentarian system than his father had been, being reform-minded and democratically inclined.

Due to his late accession to the throne, Frederick's reign would last only six years, throughout which he was plagued by ill health.
