Totally agree. It's not as if they don't share anything. The "CP Couple Culture Prize" (which actually consists of a culture and a humanitarian prize) was founded 3 years ago, now Mary has a foundation of her own as well.
And Frederik has 2 foundations of his own: D.K.H. Kronprinsparret - Fonde
Frederik may have less publicity than Mary but IMO that goes for all cp couples. The focus is on the women, whether they show initiative and independence or whether they are just accessories.
And when it comes to popularity Frederik does not need the help of Mary, he is just as popular as she. There was a poll this year - superwomen and supermen of DK - and Frederik was on top of the men just as Mary was on top of the women.
The Danes have one of the highest percentage of working women in Europe, Danish women are quite independent and IMO this is reflected in the way how Mary presents herself. She has her own foundation and she has her own new years reception, with the approval of the court, I'm sure.
This is IMO what is expected of her, the Danes would not be content with an "accessory"-cp.
