This is a harder question than you might think. Scholars agree that Shakespeare wrote in whole or in part the 37 plays in the Second Folio, and there is general agreement that he at least partly wrote The Two Noble Kinsmen. There is also evidence that he wrote other plays that have not come down to us, including Cardenio and Love's Labours Won. Finally there are plays which some people think might be by Shakespeare but others do not, like Edward III or The Second Maiden's Tale (which some scholars have suggested might really be Cardenio)

None. Shakespeare was not hired by royalty to write. He was hired by his playing company to write. Even when the king was the patron of the company, he did not involve himself in the running of it. As an actor Shakespeare performed many times before Queen Elizabeth and King James, often in his own plays, but he did not write the plays for these occasions. He wrote them for the public theatres.
