It's good but I think you need to work on your grammar and analytical skills. You should never start a sentence with 'making' or 'which', these should be commas within one sentence.

Here it is correctly re-written:

In Source A, Edward VII indicates that his incentive came from inner-turmoil since he refers to himself as having 'tried to serve for 25 years', suggesting that he felt inadequate in not fulfilling his role for the 'country', the 'empire', and his duties as 'the Prince of Wales' and 'King'. This implies that he felt frustrated at his failure in his role as King as well as the 'burdens' he produced. Contrastingly, in Source B, Harry conveys that his incentive derives from the turmoil of the 'media' which held 'such a powerful force'. This gives the reader the impression that the writer felt restrained by the media, which then led him to 'take a leap of faith' after the 'months of talks' and 'years of challenges' - perhaps also suggesting that the media's burden over time inspired him to leave the royal family.
