Best Answer

Later in his life, Shakespeare was indirectly employed by royalty, when his acting company was sponsored by King James. It is highly unlikely that he was on speaking terms with any royal persons.

Which English monarch helped propel Shakespeare to fame?

Sorry, no English monarch was instrumental in propelling Shakespeare to fame. James I did stand as a sponsor to the theatrical company Shakespeare belonged to, but Shakespeare was no more famous when he retired from that company in 1613 than he was when the King took up the sponsorship of it in 1603. Shakespeare had already built his rep by then. Shakespeare of course became more and more famous after his death, but it was not due to the royal favour of any monarch--more to the admiration and later adulation of literary figures and theatrical people.
