Andrew was with a security guard at the time.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor Was Arrested in February
Andrew was seen in compromising photos that were included in the Epstein files.
Amid the scandal, multiple emails between Epstein and the ex-royal were uncovered, paining a picture that the two were much closer than Andrew wanted people to believe.
On February 19, Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct while in public office, as he was accused of relaying confidential information to the financier.
'The Law Must Takes Its Course'
King Charles said authorities will have the monarchy's full cooperation after Andrew was arrested.
King Charles reacted to his sibling's arrest just a few hours later, stating, "I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation."
"Let me state clearly: the law must take its course," the 77-year-old's statement continued. "As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R."
