The King's Men
The King's Men, in 1603.
Shakespeare was a subject of Queen Elizabeth I. There is no record of them ever meeting, although The Lord Chamberlain's Men did perform at court before the queen.
Shakespeare was a founding member of The Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1594. It became The King's Men in 1603.
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.
The company with which Shakespeare was associated was variously called Lord Hunsdon's Men (1594), Lord Chamberlain's Men (1594-1603), and the King's Men (1603-1642).
