What did William shakespeare mean when he said that theater was a true reflection of life?

Actually, Shakespeare never said the theater was a true reflection of life. The quote is "All the world's a stage / And all the men and women merely players. / They have their exits and their entrances / And one man in his time plays many parts." That said, though Shakespeare is comparing theater to life, the comparison works both ways. He is using the theater as a way to break life down into its simplest phases, assuming that what is on the stage is, in effect, a true reflection of life.

Why did shakespeare have to be careful when he wrote plays about kings and queens?

He had to be careful because they could cut his head off. This was particularly true if the kings or queens were from recent history. When Shakespeare wrote Richard III, he was writing about how the queen's grandfather became king, and indirectly her own right to the crown. It would have been dangerous to imply that her right was less than absolute. Also, when he wrote Richard II, he was writing about the overthrow of a legitimate monarch. The Earl of Essex commissioned a performance of that play to encourage himself to try to overthrow Queen Elizabeth (who said "I am Richard II. you know that?"). Shakespeare and his fellow actors narrowly escaped trouble for even performing that play. Although a group of writers (which some believe included Shakespeare) tried to write a play about Sir Thomas More, it was impossible to do so without offending the religious censors of the time.
