The answer has to be yes, given the exceptional body of evidence. That evidence is both internal to the Sonnets and external. It is literary and historical. It is uncontradicted by facts. There even survives a personal address by Shakespeare, which corroborates all the key facets of the extraordinary artist-aristocrat relationship depicted in the poems.
Moreover, that relationship points to the solutions of other mysteries: including who was Mr WH, who was the Rival Poet, what was the provenance of A Lover's Complaint and why were the circumstances of original publication so peculiar?

While some of Shakespeare's sonnets may draw on elements of his personal experiences and emotions, they are not purely autobiographical. The themes explored in the sonnets are often universal and timeless, focusing on love, beauty, and the passage of time. Therefore, while there may be some elements of Shakespeare's life reflected in the sonnets, they are not solely meant to recount his personal story.
