The only thing Shakespeare intentionally published, his long poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece, were dedicated to Henry Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton and Baron of Tichfield. Shakespeare's other writings were not published by him, and were dedicated by the various publishers to other people.

How many plays were dedicated to William Shakspeare?

Unlike novels, works of scholarship and other books intended primarily to be published and read, plays are not often dedicated to anyone. Shakespeare dedicated his long poems to the Earl of Southampton because they were intended for print. He did not dedicate his plays to anyone. Nor is it likely that any of his contemporaries would dedicate a play (if they did dedicate it) to Shakespeare. Dedications at that time were made to noble patrons, not fellow authors. More recently, when playwrights might have the publication of their plays in mind, they might include a dedication, and this dedication might conceivably be to the inspiration for the play. However, if this has occurred, nobody keeps track of how often it has occurred.

Why is Queen Elizabeth a rolemodel to Shakespeare?

Queen Elizabeth was not a role model to Shakespeare. Shakespeare had no desire to base his life on hers. He did not want to wear wigs, paint his face white, wear dresses with incredibly wide hips or do anything that Elizabeth did. She was the queen, of course, and there were laws about what you could write or perform that might offend her Majesty. But there is no reason to suppose that Shakespeare wrote anything with the queen specifically in mind. She (unlike her successor King James) was not his patron and he did not dedicate any works to her.

Did Shakespeare have friends in court?

Shakespeare's dedication of Venus and Adonis to the Earl of Southampton, who was a noble, although not a terrifically influential courtier. And there is no indication from Southampton's end of how much support he actually gave Shakespeare, although Shakespeare did also dedicate the Rape of Lucrece to him, showing that Shakespeare must have perceived some benefit from the dedications. As a member of the Lord Chamberlain's company, Shakespeare and his fellow actors had the protection of Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain, who was an influential man at court. After 1603, Shakespeare and his partners fell under the patronage of the king, which meant on the one hand that they got more opportunities to perform at court, but also that they had no friendly courtier to take their part should they have a dispute with the Master of the Revels.
