Shakespeare became one of the founding members of the Lord Chamberlain's Men company.
The acting company to which Shakespeare belonged for most of his working life was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men from 1594-1603, and The King's Men after that. Shakespeare was not the troupe's leader, but rather a partner.
Theatrical troupes or companies of Shakespeare's day were named after their patrons, or sponsors. During Queen Elizabeth's reign it was called the Lord Chamberlain's Men because their sponsor was Baron Hunsdon, the Lord Chamberlain. When King James I came to the throne he became the patron so the company was called the King's Men.

King James I, in 1603
As their name clearly says, their patron was the king. King James I to be precise.
Queen Elizabeth I supported the Chamberlains Men acting company, and King James I supported the Kings Men acting company.
The King James Version is a translation of the Bible in English by King James I of England. It is not considered a Catholic version.
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.
King James I was the company's patron. Before that it was Lord Hunsdon, Elizabeth I's Lord Chamberlain, hence the name. They changed their name to the King's Men when James I became their patron.
