The theatre company known as Lord Chamberlain's Men changed its name to the King's Men in 1603 following the accession of King James I to the throne. This change reflected the company's new patronage, as they were granted a royal charter under the king, which elevated their status and provided them with greater legitimacy and support. The name change also symbolized the shift in political power and the royal endorsement of the arts during James I's reign.

Which theatre company did William Shakespeare join and then change their name?
Shakespeare spent most of his productive life with the same theatre company, which changed its name three times. The names of theatre companies in Shakespeare's day came from the noble or royal patron of the company. The actors were theoretically employed by this patron, although really they were both self-supporting and self-directing. If you work for McDonald's, do you think you can change the name of the company? Of course you can't, and neither could Shakespeare. The first patron of the company was Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain, and so it was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Mr. Carey died but his son George Carey, Lord Hunsdon took over the patronage, so the company was called Lord Hunsdon's Men. Later he got promoted to Lord Chamberlain, so they became the Lord Chamberlain's Men again. When Queen Elizabeth died her successor James I became patron of the company which naturally was then known as The King's Men.
