Descendants of the Illegitimate Sons and Daughters of the Kings of Britain: Seventy-Fifth Anniversary Chronicle was published in April 2026 at the conclusion of our 75th anniversary year. Information on the history of the Bastards, biographies of our founders, genealogists, and presidents, lists of monarchs, bastards, and gateways through whom membership has been traced, and other features of interest are included here. The book is available to view or download under gracious license of the Descendants.

Members received a hardcover copy in the mail. Copies are also now in several major libraries throughout the United States.
