Why did everyone still call him "Mr. Bentley" after all those years? Why didn't it occur to him to say, "Please, call me Harry"?

Maybe he just liked to be addressed as Bentley.

I guess for the same reason he called George and Louise Mr. And Mrs. Jefferson or Mr. and Mrs. J. I suppose it was just a matter of respect and politeness between them all

There is an episode in the final season where he goes on a date with Florence and asks her to call him that. Maybe he didn't mind it because he was an Englishman and liked formality?
