The past two years the celebration took place in St. Peter's Basilica in a very reduced form under the Covid-19 pretext. Usually, Corpus Christi was celebrated outside the Lateran Basilica for all Roman parishes followed by a procession to Saint Mary Major's.
This year, for the feast St Peter's Archpriest, Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, will simply preside a Eucharist at the meal-table of the Chair in Saint Peter's like in any Italian parish. A procession with the Eucharistic Blessing will follow.
Francis is known for disregarding the presence of Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, and for not bothering to kneel or genuflect in front of it.
