How to add a legend to all open figures?

Morning everyone, I am struggling to reintroduce a legend to all open figures. I have seen a post about how to create a function that accesses the open figure handles, I cannot get it to work.
Below is the code, it essentially creates a tight subplot and then splits it into individual plots (21), these ones are the ones I want to add a legend to. If I appy a legend in the tight subplot (per one) it will distort the imagine and subsquent split. There is a function "Sub_Fig_Divider" that I have also attached with the correction applied.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Richard

Sub_Fig_Divider %%%% This is a downloaded function (To work TH2=plot_new(ii-1) needs to be plot_new(ii-1) within code)
figHandles = findall(0,'Type','figure'); %open figures
GIU = figHandles(2:end); % Removes the orginal main subplot for the application below
%%Bit I am struggling on%%
for ii = 1:numel(GIU)
Lgd = legend(ax(ii),headers,'fontweight','bold','box','off','location','bestoutside');
title(lgd,'Water regime','fontweight','bold');
end

For example,
%% Open several figures with subplots
for i=1:2
figure(i)
for j=1:2
subplot(2,1,j)
plot(rand(5,3));
end
end
%% Find all figures and subplots and add legend
H=findobj('Type','figure');
for i=1:numel(H)
ax=findobj(H(i),'Type','axes');
for j=1:numel(ax)
legend(ax(j));
end
end
