Although King James did not give him a spot on the team that translated The Bible into English from Latin, he did sponsor his theatrical company, so Shakespeare must have been on good terms with at least one British sovereign.

Distant. Just because he worked for them from time to time did not mean he was on speaking terms with Elizabeth or James, any more than working for Wal-mart means you are on speaking terms with the CEO of that company. The monarchs were in the audience when Shakespeare and his fellow players performed at court, but all arrangements were made through the Master of the Revels.

None. Shakespeare was a player, essentially a tradesman. He performed at court when the Master of the Revels asked his company to do so, and the Queen watched. Shakespeare had no more relationship with the queen than did the cobbler who made her boots.

Shakespeare was a subject of Queen Elizabeth 1st. There is no record of them ever meeting.

She was the Queen; he was a subject. It was exactly the same relationship as she had with everyone else in England.
