Had Shakespeare indicated that he did not like monarchy in general and the current monarch in particular he would not have lived long enough to write most of his plays. So of course he supported the monarchy. That being said, he appears to have been a bit of a social snob, as his portrayal of working class people, particularly in plays like Julius Caesar and Henry VI Part 2 is anything but flattering. In this his work contrasts sharply with that of his contemporary Thomas Dekker, whose play The Shoemaker's Holiday portrays working class folks with dignity.
