Shakespeare only wrote about Queen Elizabeth once, and that was ten years after she had died. The play Henry VIII is about Queen Elizabeth's father, of course, and in the course of the play Elizabeth is born. A number of flattering things are said about the baby, but not, obviously, to flatter Queen Elizabeth.
Shakespeare really wanted to write about Henry VIII who is a very interesting character (They are still writing about him--that's what the series The Tudors is about) and who happened also to be King James's great uncle.
