The phrase "desperate times call for desperate measures" is not directly attributed to William Shakespeare. It is commonly believed to have originated later, with the earliest known usage in literature appearing in the 17th century, specifically in the work of the playwright and poet, John Lyly. While Shakespeare explored themes of desperation and drastic actions in his plays, this specific phrase does not appear in his works.

What kings and queens did Shakespeare write for?

None. Shakespeare was not hired by royalty to write. He was hired by his playing company to write. Even when the king was the patron of the company, he did not involve himself in the running of it. As an actor Shakespeare performed many times before Queen Elizabeth and King James, often in his own plays, but he did not write the plays for these occasions. He wrote them for the public theatres.
