It is easier to compute the chance you get two kings and subtract from $1$. What is the chance the first is a king? The second? Both?

You want the probability for not obtaining two from four kings when selecting two from fifty-two cards without replacement or bias.

Use the law of complementary probability, and subtract from $1$ the probability for obtaining two kings.

Also recall that $\binom mn$ counts ways to select $n$ from $m$ things without replacement or bias.
