Homer and his Marge easily out-doh Her Maj.

DON'T have a cow Ma'am, but The Simpsons are three times more popular with young people than you and the rest of the royals.

A survey found that nearly two thirds of 16 to 24-year-olds followed the exploits of Homer, Marge and the kids, while only 18 per cent cared about the Queen and her family.

Being upstaged by another Mrs Simpson would be bad enough on its own, but the MORI poll of 1000 people was full of bad news for the House of Windsor.

Only a fifth of young people could name all four of the Queen's children.

But almost half knew the names of Peggy Butcher's three offspring in EastEnders.

Even the Royle Family beat the Royal Family, with 39 per cent of the young following Caroline Aherne's TV sitcom.

While youth turned its back on the monarchy, the poll for ITV's Tonight with Trevor McDonald found that many older folk were still loyal.

Fifty-four per cent said they were interested in the Royal Family, while only one in 10 were fans of Coronation Street.

The Queen's Golden Jubilee looks like being a flop with all age groups. Only 15 per cent said they would go to a street party or other celebration, and 60 per cent said they would treat the four-day Jubilee weekend like any other bank holiday.
