Where Was Jane Asher in November, 1966?

In the book, The Beatles Day by Day  A Chronology 1962-1989 by Mark Lewisohn (Harmony Books 1987, 1990), he has Jane Asher with Paul in Kenya via France and Spain from November 6-November 19, 1966.  I found a photograph of Jane Asher that puts her in England on November 16, 1966.
At www.gettyimages.com/detail/3137594/Hulton-Archive there is a photo of her and actor Laurence Harvey during the filming of  "The Winter's Tale", released in 1967.  The caption says:
          "Lithuanian born British actor, Laurence Harvey (1928-1973), filming his co-star Jane
           Asher during the making of 'A Winter's Tale' (sic):  (Photo by Larry Ellis/Express/Getty Images)."

People doing Paul-is-dead research point out that it was Paul's replacement in Kenya in 1966 and that he was accompanied by Mal Evans.  Obviously, Jane Asher was in England.

True, Paul #2 took over from Paul #1. He was indeed in Kenya with Evans to have plastic surgery, ready for the substitute look! Jane was in England.
Why did she keep silent about the obvious changes she did notice, surely?

Actually, I think the Paul in Kenya was Paul #3 taking Paul #2's place.
As for Jane Asher, it's all very curious. She is the only major "actor" in the life of The Beatles (except for maybe Maureen Starkey) who has flatly refused to write about them. And she was around when Beatlemania was first beginning. Threats? Bribes? Who knows?
