Equipping this item grants the Kingmaker's Presencebuff to nearby allies. It does not affect the user. The effects of the buff depends on the version of the Kingmaker, which the pre-3.6.0 legacy item only grant Culling Strike and increased Item Rarity (IIR).
Note that the "nearby" range is very small; it is measured to be a 3 metre radius. Using the Meat Shield support will keep an Animate Guardian equipped with the Kingmaker from wandering outside of the player character's range while standing still. When the character walks around however, the Animate Guardian will fall in and out of range to apply Kingmaker's Presence.

The legacy mod Nearby Allies have +1 Fortification is a mod that acts as a description of the unique item aura but actually does nothing (the aura is granted by a separate hidden mod), the item's aura still grants +10 Fortification regardless of if it is the current variant or legacy, unless it is pre-3.6 variants that do not even have the Nearby Allies have +1 Fortification mod.
According to datamined data, the pre-3.6 legacy Kingmaker actually has a larger aura radius (5 meter verse 3 meter) for granting Culling Strike and IIR to allies,[a] which match the measurements done by redditor theuberelite.[1] This is despite the buff using the same status icon for both current and pre-3.6 legacy variant buffs; the status icon comes from a buff with internal id: "increased_item_rarity_aura", with the fortification (id: kingmaker_fortify_aura), crit multi (id: critical_strike_multiplier_aura) and culling strike (id: culling_strike_aura) actually coded as separate hidden buffs without status icons. In other words, it is not a bug that the aura from a pre-3.6 legacy Kingmaker does not grant crit multi or fortification despite the status icon saying it does.

↑ 2.02.1There are two typos in the original GGG patch notes: " grants nearly allies" (should be "nearby") and "now has 190-200% increased Physical Damage" (should be (190-240)% ) The Version history entries in this wiki article already fixed the typo.
