All sorts of things

It depends on the types of primates

Gorillas are mostly plant eaters,

Chimpanzees might even hunt and eat smaller monkeys.

Hi
there! Are you from this planet?! If you are, I wonder how come you do not know
what primates eat!? If you have an idea of where they dwell, you will probably
be able to guess what their diet might be made up with! Well, they will be seen
in forests most of the time and, as you know, we only find trees, shrubs and
other animals in there. This must have answered your question! Do take some
time to watch some National Geographic documentaries, they will help you out!

WE are primates.  We are omnivorous.

Other primate groups eat what can find in their habitat.  Look it up.

Many primates, monkeys, are fruitivores while other are omnivores eating a variety of plant matter. Some great apes even include some meat in their diet.

Fruitivores, John?

I prefer the old term, fruitivore, to frugivore. ( both need to be added to the dictionary here )
